"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
- Pablo Picasso
The "Melinda Corridor" of Commerce Court leading to the King Subway station has been transformed through art. Art Walk at Commerce Court celebrates aspects of "Connected in Colour". It is a celebration of life's vivid tapestry, fostering a sense of community, unity, and inclusivity.
Meet the Canadian artists who contributed to this Art Walk and learn more about their pieces below.
Canadian artist Robert Berlin explores vestiges of motion; obscure, fleeting nuances of presence, of solitude, of silence. He explores the synergy of captured movement, blurred color and shadowed form. Neither mimetic, nor completely abstract, his work occupies a space where motion is being, time is seen, and the body often gives way to only a hint, a glimpse, a trace, of itself.
Robert Berlin has a background as a painter, sculptor, and photographer. He has studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts, McGill University, the Toronto School of Art and the Ontario College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited in Canada and internationally, in Spain, France, USA and Asia. He currently resides in Toronto, Canada.
