David Blackwood's most renowned subject matter includes the breaking ice and shifting glaciers off the east coast of Canada. Today, this scene resonates with our contemporary concern for climate change and the melting polar caps. How will we remember today, tomorrow? Blackwood's imagination, skill and foresight have made his artwork a powerful reflection of the beauty and harshness of Canada's natural environment, allowing us the freedom to contemplate our place within the world.
