Canadian Abstract Art is an online gallery dedicated to showcasing and promoting abstract artwork by Canadian artists. The gallery was founded and is maintained by artist David Tycho, and features abstract painting in a wide range of styles.

It’s interesting to be able to view this wide selection of abstract art alongside a brief history of the development of abstract artwork in Canada. The online gallery serves not just as a repository of images, but as a thoughtful, educational monument to the unique qualities and important figures of Canadian abstract art.

It’s also interesting to view Tycho’s own work in such a well-developed context. The artist’s works are unique and specific to a contemporary time period, yet as with many works of pure abstraction, could be at home among peers from nearly any era.
