Christian Nicolay is a Canadian interdisciplinary artist working between Vancouver and Kelowna BC. His diverse body of work employs a wide range of media and techniques, often seeking pathways that intercept traditional ways of working with materials. Part of his artistic strategy is to examine and play in liminal areas that are hard to define, often challenging common perceptions of borders and boundaries in relation to process, materiality and function.
Nicolay graduated from UBC-Okanagan in Kelowna BC, receiving the Helen Pitt Award in 2000. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and has been the recipient of several awards, grants, honours and residencies.
