Canadian Artist Bruce Thomas sets out on a cross-Canada tour in search of answers for his Canadian PULSE Landscape Project. A work in progress, Thomas challenges the Canadian historical landscape perspective and uncovers a new approach to traditional landscape painting through the eyes of Canada’s growing multi-cultural society. Traveling across Canada, Thomas interviews hundreds of Canadians and documents their perspective on what defines the quintessential Canadian Landscape.

Harvest, Thousand Islands, ON, Bruce Thomas

Multi-frame amalgamated on canvas with graphite, pastel spray acrylic and oil, pigmented resin and stencil applied.
Canada was deemed completely inhospitable. Seven times they tried to colonize and people died of scurvy. I believe it wasn't until that tea – the one they made with white pine needles - that things turned around. Then they found fertile lands which gave way to the settlements and industrial food production.
How might food policy change our foreign policy in the 21st century?
