From the press release:

Troy lovegates is a nomadic folk artist that paints stories of way finders and lost stories told around bonfires ..This art show is a compilation of paintings made over a grumpy grey winter in Toronto , turbulent drawings during cross America train excursions, night buses to Detroit and chicago, and a geriatric transatlantic 14 day cruise …. As reference material numerous homeless people’s souls were captured in alleyways or sleeping on park benches in buenos aires ,Bucharest , Berlin , Barcelona and any other cities you can think of that start with a B … The old wood and frames were scavenged in abandoned buildings during long winter walks or longer summer bike rides … All this is really just a storyline and composition of wandering and exploring outdoors…dragged inside and fancied up to be gazed upon..

Enjoy

TAGTICAL MEDIA 2 : “Paris sous mes bombes”

LE MUR seems to be very upset with MTO experiment. Whereas people invited to Le Mur try to make a good looking wall. MTO asked a black wall, and a QR code brought by a tramp at the opening invited people to write on it for the next 2 weeks. MTO abandoned the billboard to the people and has written words & tags in the streets around.

The saddest part is that 2 days later, Le Mur ordered this painting…
