Grace Kalyta (b. 1991, Treaty no. 1 Territory, Manitoba) is a Tiohtià:ke/Montreal based artist whose paintings and sculptures explore pursuits and performances of abundance in self-design, adornment, and spectacle. Kalyta collects images from online spaces that are dedicated to the quick circulation of objects and materials, cropping and enlarging throw-away images to create confrontational compositions. Through image-sourcing and the integration of decorative elements, Kalyta provokes high-low dichotomies in class and value systems, seduction and splendour, and the interplay of presentation and perception in material self-realization. Kalyta is represented by Pangée in Montréal.
