Toyism, a movement in Art started in The Netherlands in 1992.

Toyism is a movement in Art started in The Netherlands in 1992. Toyism Philosophy, known as Toyismoloph[b]y[/b] is a style or direction in art that does not arise from one day to another, but often evolves as a compliment or reaction to other styles. In addition, the notions of different cultures or a combination thereof generate various ideas and ideologies that can lead to a particular movement. The ego era in which we have lived for quite some time now was for me one of the major reasons to take a different course.

Narrative Art: Everyone Likes A Good Story, Don’t They

David Blackwood one of Canada's most respected visual storytellers, presented an award winning retrospective show at the AGO. I rallied at his much deserved recognition as I follow in this highly espected tradition of art. From the beginnings of history artist's have depicted their world beginning with the earliest known, the cave paintings from a hunting society. Religious scenes, historic battles, portraits of the famous kings, patrons, generals,etc. have followed. Subjects tearing the souls of artists have joined this school, such as Picasso's Guernica.
