Bio

Christopher Aitken is a Canadian abstract artist working primarily in acrylic on canvas, paper, and reclaimed materials. His practice explores light, perception, and emotional architecture, using colour, gesture, and layered surfaces to reflect lived experience within urban and liminal spaces. Influenced by environment, memory, and personal narrative, his work balances structure and intuition, often incorporating hard lines against fluid forms. Aitken’s paintings invite viewers to pause and reflect, allowing space for personal interpretation and emotional resonance. His work has been exhibited in galleries across British Columbia and featured in national and international publications.
