With Birds of Paradise & Land of Bays, 2023
Vick Naresh is a contemporary artist living and working in Hamilton, Canada. His practice unfolds through layered abstraction, where biomorphic forms and geometric structures coalesce into imagined environments shaped by vibrant colour and material presence.
Engaging questions of displacement, memory, and identity, Naresh’s work draws from lived experience alongside art historical, spiritual, and scientific frameworks. These paintings attend to the intangible, positioning abstraction as a space where time, perception, and recollection remain in constant flux.
