Capturing the architectural essence of Canada
In the twists and turns of the lively streets of Montreal and Edmonton, artist Raymond Biesinger found the inspiration that gave birth to an exceptional series of illustrations. What began as a humble attempt to capture the architectural essence of Canada quickly evolved into a series of ten pieces, each evoking with remarkable obsession a Canadian city at a specific moment in its history.
Revealing the story and face of ten Canadian cities
At the heart of this series are modern maps, striking depictions that highlight the distinctive urban planning of each city. Among them, Montreal, the artist's adopted city, and Edmonton, his hometown, stand proudly. But there are also eight other Canadian cities that have been immortalized, each with its own story to tell, its own face to reveal.
Historical moment frozen with precision
In this collection, Vancouver takes the spotlight. Dated September 3, 1962, the illustration captures a historic moment when Prime Minister John Diefenbaker stands at Rogers Pass to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Trans-Canada Highway. It is a moment frozen in time, captured with remarkable precision by the artist, a testimony to the importance of this moment for the city and for the entire country.
Richness and diversity of the Canadian urban landscape reflected in every detail
Each print in this remarkable series is much more than just an artistic representation. It’s an immersive dive into the history and character of each city represented. Every detail, every building, every landmark, is carefully selected to reflect the richness and diversity of the Canadian urban landscape.
Guarantee of authenticity and value
Each print is also a unique piece, signed and dated on the back by the artist himself. It is a guarantee of authenticity and value, making each copy a valuable investment for collectors and art lovers.
