Art

Metropolis Living also carries art produced by local artists, carefully selected to complement the industrial style of our merchandise.  This summer we are featuring two Toronto photographers, Osheen Harruthoonyan and Marek Warunkiewicz, who apply techniques used before digital photography was invented to create their art.  Their work is available for sale at the store.
