Recently I walked along Bloor Street east of Symington and took in the paintings adorning this railway bridge underpass. The walls were painted by local artist Richard Mongiat as part of a project sponsored by the City of Toronto. The north wall portrays summer nature scenes and the south side shows winter scenes. I find this project really beautiful and the context particularly interesting. The industrial qualities of the concrete and rusty bridge provide a lovely contrast to these serene images.underpass art 2
