Welcome our next studio resident, Kyle!

Kyle is the first Studio Resident of 2026!
He will be kicking off an exciting year for Stride’s Studio Residency.

Kyle Anderson-Nguyen is a Vietnamese-Canadian artist based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary,
Canada). He holds a BFA in drawing from the Alberta University of the Arts. Working in
painting, drawing and sculpture, his pseudo-digital source material is manipulated to channel
collective memories through exploration of 2000’s internet culture. These refracted
compositions evoke nostalgia while simultaneously highlighting the haunting of lost futures. At
the core of Anderson-Nguyen’s practice is the idea of discovering identity through the
stretched and saturated images that have dominated internet subcultures since its inception.
These images, prioritizing the sharing of ideas over technicality, invite the viewer to see the
digital world as an extension of reality rather than a vehicle for entertainment.
