Art Toronto Bistro: The Canadian Forest

"There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real."
Gordon Lightfoot – Canadian Railroad Trilogy

The Canadian relationship with the forested landscape is a defining hallmark of Canadian artistic cannon. Brutal, unforgiving, vast, lifegiving - The Bistro at Art Toronto presents a group installation of contemporary works that detail the relationship between artists and our forests in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.
