Billy Bishop Airport Part 1
The Perspectives public art program transforms the pedestrian tunnel at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport into a vibrant celebration of the people, places, and stories that shape Toronto. Each edition highlights five artists, with four works per artist reproduced in a grand and striking format, turning the journey to the airport into an immersive gallery-worthy experience.
Now on Display: Perspectives 3
Our current exhibition (starting March 2026) explores Toronto’s migratory history, its natural landscapes, and its constantly evolving urban patterns, as well as the rhythms and subtle magic of everyday life. From evocative photography to bold digital cityscapes, the works capture the dynamism and diversity that define the city.

Anson Ng is a Toronto-based artist who uses slow, attentive painting to celebrate, archive and honour the people, places and histories that shape us.
Anson says about his works in Perspectives, “Growing up at Spadina and Dundas and later experiencing the loss of my family’s restaurant, my practice is rooted in observing how everyday spaces quietly hold the city together. I paint restaurants and small businesses across Toronto to celebrate, archive, and share the legacies embedded within them.”
P.S. we passed by this restaurant the other day, I intend to go back and get a photo!!

Jason Zante is a Filipino-Canadian artist His work explores the emotional impact of nature, exploring its role as a source of belonging, a sense of home, a call to action, a means of reconnection and an escape from reality.
About the four works in Perspectives, he says, “The Islands” is a collection of landscapes that explore the natural beauty of the Toronto Islands. The works capture the ephemeral essence of the surroundings through expansive scenes that depict the flora, fauna and waters of Lake Ontario. From the soft hues of dawn to the fiery, vivid sunsets, these works express the myriad colours that illuminate the islands.”

...once again Jackie, you found plenty of stories to tell!
ReplyDeleteI love the urban realism of Ng's Asian restaurants and the glowing colours of Zante's nature scapes!
ReplyDeleteI especially like Ng's Asian restaurants and the heartbreak he felt when his parents lost theirs.
ReplyDeleteBoth artists have painted beautiful murals. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Jackie.
