Summer Time in The City is a celebration of 10 years of EGR art
in Toronto. All new works in aerosol spray paint by world renown artist
EGR. From massive spray paintings and portraits to tiny, framed
collectibles. The first gallery features classic oil paintings and
prints selected from the last 10 years of EGR, while large-scale
aerosol and spray painted works are exhibited in the main gallery
space.
EGR aka Erica Gosich Rose, grew up in Burlington; a quiet
suburban city just a train ride away from Toronto, Canada. Her
fascination with street art intensified while traveling to and from
Sheridan College for Interpretive Illustration; the aesthetics and
concepts of which are still featured prominently in her work today.
EGR's works can be found on crumbling city walls and in pristine art
galleries, from fine art to murals, illustration and live art. Part of
EGR's appeal is her ability to bridge art, design and functional
purpose, and her current exhibition, Summer Time in The City,
does just that. She is just as comfortable with traditional oil paints
and brushes as she is wielding aerosol spraycans- in locales as far as
Australia and even Florence, Italy. Pop culture and social references
abound in the work of miss EGR, though the female perspective is a
recurring staple. As women are still a minority in the boys' club of
urban art, many consider her a pioneer in the street art world.
