Synopsis

The Canvas is an examination of what we mean by “art” and a journey toward
and across the thin line that separates art from violence.  A scholarship
student at an elite art school, Deborah finds it hard to fit in amongst her
pretentious classmates, Gabriel and Michelle, who ostracize her for both
her socioeconomic difference as well as her ideas about what constitutes
art.  When their flamboyant teacher, Professor Poisson, unveils his latest
masterpiece, a completely blank canvas, Michelle and Gabriel fawn over his
genius, but Deborah feels compelled to call “bullshit” and point out the
fact that the emperor has no clothes. This sets into motion a heated battle
of wits between teacher and student, which ultimately culminates in Deborah
creating a shocking work of art that none of the others will ever forget.
