Eric Fong is an up-and-coming young interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada, who is a recent graduate of the University of Toronto with a bachelor or fine arts. Eric’s work is a reflection of a keen interest in the research of Toronto’s urban history through the close reading of archival materials that tell the stories of immigration, social upheaval, settlement patterns and the lives of ordinary working people.

Eric is a Toronto native, and has always valued the importance of understanding the histories and personal familial ties to the urban environments we call home. The layered histories of our communities, developed through research, meandering and close looking are translated into compositions that provide thought provoking and informative narratives.
