Criss Canning Collection

Criss Canning (born Melbourne, 1947) is one of Australia’s leading still life painters. Although her early works concentrated on landscape and portraiture, since 1986 she has focused entirely on the genre of still-life. Her style is highly distinctive and incredibly accomplished technically - producing work that is sumptuous in colour, complex in design and sensuous in effect.
Criss Canning is represented at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Australia, the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery, and the Castlemaine Art Gallery. Canning’s work can also be found in collections in many places overseas, including London, Paris, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, USA, Indonesia, Singapore and New Zealand.
