Canadian Artist
Canadian artists work against a backdrop of wide wilderness, changing seasons, and cities that mix cultures from all over the world, and a lot of that shows up in their art. This section gathers painters, sculptors, and photographers from Canada, some drawn to landscape and nature in the tradition of early Canadian painting, others working in a more urban, contemporary style. There is also a strong thread of Indigenous art within the Canadian scene, carrying stories and techniques passed down for generations. Browse this section to see the range of voices coming out of Canada’s art world today.
