Grace Kalyta's Snapshot Realism at Pangée, Montreal

Grace Kalyta's exhibition at Pangée in Montreal explores the intimate relationship between personal objects and digital screens. Her paintings, derived from phone photographs, examine how possessions conceal rather than reveal. Kalyta employs a technique she calls 'snapshot realism,' where the vibrancy of OLED screens influences her color palette. The show features works like a pink bra painted inside out, challenging spectacle and commodification. References to Silvia Federici and Michel de Certeau contextualize her political and poetic inquiry into privacy, resistance, and the inversion of screens from protective to invasive. The exhibition runs at Pangée, Montreal.
