Two Torontos and one Montreal
There are two Toronto-themed painting exhibitions in town at the moment: Brian Harvey at the Abbozzo Gallery on 401 Richmond, and across town, on 830 St Clair West, Mark Crozier at the James Rottman Fine Arts. You don’t see Toronto a lot in paintings (nor on film, unless it’s pretending to be the Generic American City), on top of which the last few years have been extremely rough on the city (condo towers, construction everywhere, pot dispensaries, tents, open drug use in public spaces, need I go on).
