For Manitoba born artist Ryan Heshka’s recent show at Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea in Italy, he turned to Canadian clichés and stereotypes to create an unique image of his home country.
Titled Romance of Canada, the show balanced reality, fiction, past and future with Heshka’s Canadian, childhood memories – a snowy land of evergreen forests and frozen lakes, hockey players and legendary creatures like the Sasquatch.
Do yourself a solid and check out the archive of the entire show on colomboarte.com.
