Aerosol

Aerosol painting is one form of spray painting; it leaves a smooth, even coat, unlike many traditional rolled and brushed paints. Graffiti artists are known to use spray paint because the medium is quick, permanent, and portable.

  • St. George and the Dragon

    A street art re-interpretation of the old trope of St. George the Martyr, battling the Dragon. This 2015 version is based on a 1502 renaissance painting by Vittore Carpaccio. In the new version the figures have been warped using photoshop and stripped of their 16th century surroundings. They instead exist here, in Toronto, displayed on the raw cinderblock of a former industrial warehouse building in the West End. In a notable change from former paintings of the same theme, this St. George has no lance, and the Dragon flees in fear rather than battling the martyr. Jacob Hughes’ version was painted as a response to a different mural by artist Istvan Kantor, on the same wall. The mural has since received a third layer response by artist Oscar Figueroa, as the wall (and neighbourhood) continue/s to evolve.
