Michael Brown
TRIK, CAUSR, BIRD, graffiti tags birthed in the middle
of the night. Michael Brown’s artwork is heavily influenced by
big cities: places where sanctioned advertising and signage competes
for space with street art and graffiti. This artist uses his canvas
as a place to create and to explore symbols drawn from his subconscious.
The placement of a symbol within a square or rectangle on his canvas
is synonymous to a graffiti tag on a rectangular newspaper box or an
arrow on a one-way street sign. Michael has exhibited at the Toronto
Outdoor Art Exhibit and the Toronto International Art Fair. He is a
recipient of grants from the Toronto and Ontario Arts Councils.
