Jack Chambers was one of Canada's most innovative and revered artists. His paintings have become icons of London and its surrounding region of southwestern Ontario and can be thought of as regionalist, yet he was trained in Spain and celebrated there and in New York City. His avant-garde films - such as Hart of London (1968 - 1970) and Circle (1968 - 1969), on which he was working when he made Paseo - are considered to be among the most important ever made. Classically trained but restlessly experimental, he was a radical classicist who was ahead of his time. His work still feels contemporary.
