Cristine Yunyk
Artist member since 2018
Toronto, Ontario
Cristine Yunyk’s colourful and sensitive abstract works are made for lovers of contemporary painting. Conceding that the painter’s job is an act of both genius and folly, the artist punctuates sincerity with humor, and sophistication with ham-fistedness. This dichotomy is further explored in her installations, where paintings perform as windows to be looked into, and objects that live in the viewer’s realm.
Cristine Yunyk graduated from The OCADU’s Drawing and Painting program in 2018 and a founding member of the collective Painters Make Better Lovers.
