Chinatown Toronto captures the energy, colour, and visual richness of Spadina Avenue through a lively collection of the neighbourhood’s most recognizable landmarks. David Crighton brings together the red, dragon-like forms of the Gateway installation, Dragon City Mall, the former Bright Pearl Seafood Restaurant, colourful Chinese-language storefront signs, a Spadina streetcar, and the CN Tower rising beyond the streetscape.
The composition also reaches into neighbouring Kensington Market through its whimsical cat-on-a-chair gateway sculpture. Rather than recording a single building or intersection, the artwork feels like a journey along Spadina, celebrating the restaurants, shops, public art, transit, and cultural details that give this part of Toronto its unmistakable identity.
Year Created: 1990
Location: Spadina Avenue between Dundas Street West and St. Andrew Street, Toronto.
