Art Toronto Selects: Stefan Hancherow, RBC Curator

RBC Curator Stefan Hancherow selects works from this year's edition of Art Toronto on Artsy.

RBC Curator Stefan Hancherow believes the mix of legacy and contemporary works goes beyond an ambitious compilation of Canadian artists. He sees it as a record of dialogues spanning time and geographical space.

Importantly, Stefan notes, the works reinforce many of the values that matter to the bank, including diversity and inclusion, community building and a sustainable environment, and which, at the same time, tap into local conversations taking place around the world. “Artists continually shape the way we view the world, their artworks are both windows and mirrors that allow us to re-contextualize histories while simultaneously offering glimpses of the future. Presenting artworks together that were produced across generations reveals themes that artists have frequented, and opens dialogues that can cross borders and eras.”
