Homage: Celebrating the Journey
Acclaimed Toronto artist Mark Stoddart has joined with
The Sport Gallery to create a ground-breaking series of paintings that pay homage to several icons of sport. Stoddart, inspired by one of the world’s most significant archives of post-war sports photography, will create a series of 20 original works that pay tribute to outstanding African American and Canadian athletes of the 20th century. The first paintings in this stunning collection of acrylic on canvas portraits will be unveiled by
The Sport Gallery in Toronto’s Historic Distillery District on October 22, 2008 at the launch of
Homage: Celebrating The Journey, an exhibition sponsored by Converse and the Sheridan College Alumni Association.
