Signs, Signs, Toronto Chinatown, Dundas St

Oil and acrylic on canvas.

15.75x12.75x1"

I frequently walk the streets of Toronto and always marvel at the incredible diversity and beauty of each neighbourhood. I grew up in Little Italy which is right next to China Town. The two blend into each other. I love the vibrant colours, the hustle and bustle, the smell of the food and the incredible sense of community. I never really know what the signs say but I love them and have always wanted to paint its vibrant feel in a unique and modern way. I want you to see it through my eyes. It's joyful! It is community! It's filled with energy that buzzes. I love this place and its signs. This is painting 1 in a series of 4 paintings celebrating this Asian community.
