This one-of-a-kind Serialist original is a hand-crafted mixed media artwork commemorating the legendary Honest Ed’s, one of Toronto’s most iconic and beloved cultural landmarks. Constructed from layered visual references and historical fragments, the work transforms nostalgia into a contemporary art statement that preserves the spirit, energy, and social legacy of the original storefront.
  Entirely unique and unrepeatable, this museum-calibre artwork speaks to collectors who value cultural memory, urban history, and authentic originality. More than a visual tribute, the piece stands as a permanent artistic record of a lost Toronto institution, offering long-term cultural and investment value for private collectors and curated collections.
