Good Earth Coffeehouse - 455 Sterling Lyon Pkwy

When I first conceived this exhibit last autumn, I had envisioned showcasing the stunning architecture of Chicago. However, in the time since, my perspective has shifted. Today, focusing on Canadian imagery—specifically the striking landmarks of Winnipeg—feels not only relevant but deeply meaningful.

This exhibit captures the essence of two of Winnipeg’s most recognizable architectural landmarks: the Esplanade Riel Footbridge and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Both structures serve as bridges—both literally and metaphorically—connecting our past with our future. They stand as bold, forward-thinking statements of strength and resilience, embodying the spirit of our communities and our people.

These landmarks have become iconic symbols of Winnipeg, instantly recognizable yet still rich with untapped perspectives. My challenge in this exhibit has been to present them through a fresh lens, revealing their architectural beauty and the profound stories they tell.

Dmitry Kirshner is a Winnipeg-based artist whose work blends innovative techniques, a mastery of light and colour, and a profound emotional connection to both familiar and unexpected subjects.
