Read Kalmplex’s bio below:

For two decades, Kalmplex has been a guaranteed fixture in Toronto’s art and music communities, supporting both emerging and established creatives while archiving moments that the mainstream media has ignored.

Kalmplex’s long-held fascination with people has extended into the art Kalmplex creates. Kalmplex’s canvases are consumed by large faces whose exaggerated features demand the viewer’s complete attention. They’re often portraits of people we all know: Rihanna, Yasiin Bey, Malcolm X. Others portray figures from Kalmplex’s personal life.
Kalmplex has participated in various photography and painting exhibitions some which include Contact Photography festival (Toronto Time Capsule was presented in 2025 showing over 1500 photos of Kalmplex’s archive),The Rel Carter Culture Tour, The Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, Geary Ave Art Crawl, The 10 x 10 Photography Project which had its last appearance at The Art Gallery of Mississauga and is the first recipient of being an artist in residence at Uma Nota cultures Art vessel projects that was sponsored by the City of Toronto. Kalmplex’s portrait was featured at the Art Gallery of Ontario’s The Culture exhibit which focused on Black Art and HipHop in the 21st Century.

Stay tuned for more artists! :)
