Featuring RU artist-in-residence Chris Glabb in the RU voices interview series 🎤
Chris Glabb is a Canadian painter and print maker that aims to make the themes of Fine Art accessible through lowbrow referentiality, irony, a dry sense of humour, and the explicit appropriation of existing images. His practice is grounded in the philosophy that images and references function as social currency – tools that provide access to spaces, experiences, and opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible. Engaging with questions of hierarchy, intersectional Queerness, and Indigenous identities, Glabb employs a Post-Pop Art sensibility to redefine relationships between moments in culture through processes of image manipulation and printmaking. Video games, fashion, and non-objective painting provide recurring points of reference in his practice, shaping his ongoing examination of how popular imagery functions as a site of connection, critique, and cultural negotiation. Chris’ work was most recently part of the group exhibition “The Edges of Layers”, at Residency Unlimited from March 24-26, 2026.
Chris Glabb’s residency is made possible with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
