This is the third edition of Art Toronto 2022, the art fair that celebrates Canadian artists like no other. It is international as well, and brings together art from all over the world making Toronto an art center to reckon with. Here we have Steve Driscoll's beautiful rendering of a Canadian landscape. The colours so sharp and bold you wonder whether it has been photoshopped. Ayla Dmyterko's Anthropichka is a luminous landscape full of rebirth and femininity. Drawing on her Ukrainian heritage she shows us a new landscape filled with emotion and layers of identity. Danny Gretscher,'s Amost Trendy No.1 is a playful abstract work that displays circles encased in a structure. Playing with colour he celebrates the harmonious rhythm that sets before us. Richard Thomas Davis's Jill, shows a woman relaxing on a Muskoka chair; she's at peace with her surroundings and celebrates the good weather with drink. Skawennati's Etow Oh Koam (King of the River) celebrates her Mohawk heritage and shows a figure dressed in traditional gear. Meanwhile, Erin Armstrong's Time Moves Slow pivots the real and the dreamlike scenario that appears before us. What is the woman doing and why? Robert Strickland's Subway shows an everyday scene this time of a subway in Toronto. It gives a peek at urban life of a woman enjoying her day with a coffee. She's waiting by herself with few people around her for the subway that will take her away.
