Cryoscapes — Nigel Midwinter

Framed on Fifth Ltd., 1209 5th Ave NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 0S1

Share

Photographer Nigel Midwinter, in the exhibition Cryoscapes, explores the tension between fragility and force within Alberta’s winter landscapes. Shot on the frozen surface of Abraham Lake, these black-and-white photographs transform cracked ice, pressure ridges, and trapped methane bubbles into abstract forms. Through restrained compositions and careful study of tone, the work isolates moments of natural architecture—temporary structures shaped by wind, pressure, and cold. The series invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and consider how beauty emerges from extreme conditions. The show runs February 3 – 28, 2026. Art Reception: Friday Feb 6 from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm. Artist Talk: Saturday Feb 7 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
