The KING Toronto Gallery is pleased to present 'Tribute to Nature' by Edward Burtynsky.

Edward Burtynsky is a Toronto based photographer and forty year tenant in a building now owned by Allied. His large-scale photographs have become internationally recognized for their sustained attention to the planet's changing surfaces. Over more than four decades he has produced landmark bodies of work—published and exhibited worldwide—that combine rigorous research with an unmistakable visual precision.

Edward Burtynsky is best known for photographing landscapes shaped by extraction and industry—places where human ambition leaves its visible signature on the earth. Tribute to Nature gathers a quieter, equally foundational strand of his practice: images made in places where the primary author is geology, water, weather, and deep time. Here, the camera turns toward "pristine" terrain—not as postcard ideal, but as living systems whose beauty is inseparable from their vulnerability.

To view the exhibit, visit the KING Toronto Gallery on weekends starting this summer.

We see our projects as active engagements with community, as part of a dialogue between what is built, the place where it is situated and the people who live there. Our projects are conceptualized and designed with an awareness of a much larger urban narrative. We look forward to sharing more information about King Street and continuing the conversation around urbanism in Toronto.
