In the following pages we shine the spotlight on fine artists who hail from Canada, and they are as diverse as the country is vast. Many are compelled to depict the natural world around them, in scenes that range from intimate landscapes to sweeping vistas and from equine subjects to indigenous wildlife. Other artists capture dramatic still lifes or compelling figurative scenes. Their styles include everything from detailed realism to exuberant expressionism; their color palettes feature both earthen tones and vibrant primary colors. There’s something for everyone in the Art of Canada.
