I know, hey! I’m constantly impressed with how people cross major intersections, shop for food, visit with friends and tightrope walk without looking up even once!
I think this was not sponsored by the city, although we get quite a few new murals sponsored by StART every year. This appears to be funded by Bell Media, whose parking lot and property it graces. Elicsr has been one of Toronto’s fave street artists for years now. Six years ago, when I began my addiction to street art, he was already very popular.
I think the fact that it’s in an employees only parking lot with 24 hour security guys and cameras galore is why it’s not tagged. 😀 😀 Elicsr is a fab artist.:D xoxoxo
In this case, yes. 🙃 There are quite a few surviving pieces, though. They seemed to have earned a street art cred. 🧐 The street artists try to teach the taggers, but just when it seems all good, a new young batch of defacers enters the scene. 👹xoxoxo
Okay, I had to look up Thomas Hart Benton. Yes, the composition styles are very similar. The way they paint individuals is a bit different. Interesting. It is difficult to to be in any of the arts and be totally unique.
Love it. So much to look into. I like all the sources of light – the cell phone, streetlights, wrist watch, apartment windows, the moon. The vehicles are interesting too – one has speaker systems, another has a turntable I think, and the other is a house. Very cool. Thanks for sharing X
I really love this especially the young man with the cell phone and the perfect sneakers. Great art! Thanks Resa ♥️😘👟
Toronto is a perfect sneakers and cell phone city! Now that you remind me, I need new sneakers. I’m falling behind the trendy fashionistas! 🙃🤳👣xx
There’s always someone on their phone missing al the good stuff.

I wonder when the internet featuring real life became more interesting than experiencing it.
Not sure, Ste J. but when I’m MIA from my blog, you know I’m out there doing my thing in real life.
Blogging is an enjoyment for me. It’s not a job.
Totally agreed, way too much going on out there to be hidden away on the net for too long.
Excellent mural. Do you know if it was sponsored by the city?

Love the vibrancy. Seems simple, but dynamic. Great find, Resa!
Elicsr’s work is just that, simple with lots to say. 😀
Like the composition and the color of the sky is fabulous. Another excellent find.
The sky is delicious! It seems early evening, at the end of magic hour.
Great find!
It’s gorgeous!
Another one that the colors appeal to me and the dimensional look is awesome.
It’s a cool mural! Was happy to find it!
No tags in over 2 years! That’s pretty darn good, Resa…
Fabulous colours; very clever use of ‘light’… 🙂

WOW! Reminds me of Thomas Hart Benton.

Are they looking for the right connections? Dramatic figures and colors.
I suppose they are looking for the right connections! Clever! 😀
