Street Art: Peace & Love.
Some beautiful yet simple street art we’ve seen recently.

It’s that time again ponies! We’ve done posts on graffiti, on signs, and even on burlap sacks – there is artwork to be seen everywhere in Toronto, you just need to be looking out for it. Today, we’d like to focus on some of the positive messages we’ve seen as of late – ones that make us smile as we pass by.

Street Art: Signs.
Altered street signs in Toronto make us stop and think.

The Cowgirls just love stumbling across gems like this in Toronto. Call it graffiti, call it whatever you want, but we love it. We saw the sign and it opened up our eyes.

Reinventing the Wheel.

Ever since 1917, when Marcel Duchamp put a urinal into a gallery and called it art, we have been struggling with how to look at objects within a new context. We look to artists to challenge our preconceptions of form and function and help us see the world in a new light. How do we train our eyes to see beauty in simplicity or creativity in the complex world around us? Is the floating bag from American Beauty any different to a bag-wrapped building (see below) in Toronto? Duchamp stated that he was more interested in ideas, not merely visual products. As the spectator we become part of the creative process and our ideas are equally valid.

Street Art: I Miss You

Here’s some interesting street art. Wool carefully knotted around the chain link fence at Trinity Bellwoods Park. I Miss You. Becoming unraveled. Blowing in the wind. Slowly forgotten.
