As much a symbol of summer in the city as ferry lines to the islands, there is a renewed joy for art lovers that the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair is returning in person to Nathan Phillips Square this year, from Friday to Sunday.
Last year, the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair celebrated its 60th anniversary with online programming featuring more than 400 artists and craftspeople. As much a symbol of summer in the city as ferry lines to the islands, there is a renewed joy for art lovers that the annual juried fair is returning in person to Nathan Phillips Square this year, from Friday to Sunday.
Another Toronto artist, Madeleine LeBrun, works in Plasticine bas-relief sculpture and digital photocollage to create pop-happy works, using a technique called nerikomi, through which she rolls different colours of clay that are then stacked and sliced to create patterns. From SpongeBob SquarePants to Mickey Mouse, LeBrun’s sculptures are a cartoonish kaleidoscope of joy.
Gatineau artist Allen Egan has been painting since he was 16, growing up in Zimbabwe and then South Africa. A traditional figurative artist, Egan adds a twist to his portraits, adding surrealist details and other media, creating collagelike scenes that demand a second look.While visual art still anchors the fair, this year’s event includes a beer garden with daily performances.
