Laneway project, organized by : @kj.bit @start_streetarttoronto
Artist Name: Yasaman Mehrsa
My design is based on word search game, in every square I have a minimal design of the living elements ( nature, sport, people, cars, entertainment, motivation, animals,…), and the letters for the word “Oshawa” is circled.

Completed September 2017, grant by the City of Toronto, Lakeshore Arts & the Mimico-by-the-Bay BIA. A 22’x60’ original mural design by Herman Mejia
A mural that pays tribute to the Mimico neighbourhood in an abstract colorful setting with icons embedded within its core. A bird’s eye view as if it were a map with two of the main roads in Mimico, Lake Ontario, and elements drawn from the community (i.e. Toronto’s skyline, people, bikes, sailboats, pets) and the monumental pigeon in the core to revive the “Ojibwe” term Omiimiikaa that’s the basis for the Mimico name which means “abundant with wild pigeons”
As a finishing detail, the involvement of the Mimico community as an intricate part of the artwork; hand-prints from passerby which help cement the last “strokes”

The contemporary landscape in most all of its forms is bound to include a certain human presence. Evident of a human presence in the proposed mural takes form as industrial machines and subtle references to technological development. These selected technologies illustrate the human struggle to manipulate and control their surroundings.
The valve system illustrated as a common water faucet makes a metaphoric leap into the idea of choice. The valve is open and implies that it was turned on by someone. The intention is to suggest the question of why?

Vibrant scenes from the seasons are depicted on four equipment sheds along the track at the Timberlea Community Park.
Artists: Layla Folkmann and Lacey Wilburn
The mural incorporates warm, vibrant colours that uplifts the viewer and creates intrigue into the process and creation. The idea behind the mural was to highlight the resilience the community has shown in hard times and keep urge everyone to keep their heads high and “keep smilin!”

The concept of the image is derived from the function of the building, and is a visual exploration of the water cycle. The viewer is presented with a partially submerged view of an unidentified water body, and includes depictions of fishermen, polar bears, and marine life. The molecular structure of water is revealed as it flows in and through the machine. Glacial formations are seen in the background, while at the front of the scene there is a void into which the water is rushing – suggesting the known sources and often unknown destinations for water. The overall scene is intended to conjure up questions relating to water as a resource, without providing judgement or conclusion. Artists: Daniel J. Kirk & Ivan Ostapenko
In the summer of 2019 Arts Etobicoke, Mural Routes, the STEPS Initiative, and Womxn Paint presented Augmented Representations: The North Etobicoke Mural Project. The project was a series of workshops and training with local community and artists, leading to a summer-long, collaborative mural project in North Etobicoke.

Working with Mazzuca DPI Inc, the restaurant’s renovation included a sign painted above the buffet. The lettering is painted in a white, matte on top of black brick to create a charred, BBQ effect.
Based on the theme “Naturally Resilient”, these outreaching branches may also look like roots or rivers from Toronto’s ravines. The Canadian red and white gradients integrate into the system, representing Rexdale’s diversity. All backgrounds grow together, connect and share, making a unique neighborhood in North Etobicoke.
In 1893, the railway reached the banks of the Exploits and changed the lives of the local people. For many years, the railway system was the main means by which many locals left and longingly returned to their families.The mural itself measure’s in at 450 ft and was painted on a water shed.
