About

See Samuel Choisy's traffic signal box wrap "Lake Sunset" on display outside of Glen Abbey Community Centre.

Samuel offers the following description of his work:

"I have a special and sentimental relationship with the town of Oakville, as it's my first adopted Canadian city. I was living in Paris when I met June, a Canadian tourist from Oakville, Ontario, long story short: a year later I left everything behind to move here. I grew up as an artist in Oakville and then in Toronto, and I grew up as a man and a father thanks to my encounter with my partner, and I see this proposal as an offering in return. The photographs submitted for this project come from my latest body of work, which proposes a kaleidoscopic vision of abstract

landscapes obtained by photographing the interactions between paper cut-outs, painted or drawn marks and light patterns."

Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike.
