- MFA, Goldsmiths College, University of London (2009)
Kiernander’s work explores the formal duality of background and foreground in painting and drawing. His practice involves simultaneous work on multiple canvases, deconstructing and reconstructing compositions to create contradictory yet coherent visual outcomes. This approach spans disciplines such as Visual Arts, Contemporary Art, and Studio Art Techniques.
His recent publications (2010–2019) highlight his contributions to abstract painting, spatial dynamics, and figure-ground relationships, with exhibitions across the UK, Germany, Russia, the US, Canada, and Morocco. Kiernander’s 2018 Canada Council for the Arts grant funded solo exhibitions at Maison de la culture de NDG and Galerie d’art d’Outremont.

Kiernander’s works are housed in national and international collections, including the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec, Concordia University, and Loto-Québec. He actively participates in Montreal’s art community, such as the Pictura Montreal event (2020), celebrating the city’s legacy in contemporary painting.
