Portrait Project: He Has Spoken

By Sarah Lazarovic

Sarah Lazarovic—curator of the garage-based Montrose Portrait Gallery of Canada—is painting a portrait of a Torontonian every day. Each Monday, we’ll feature one of those portraits here. Suggestions for subjects welcome.

Igor Kenk’s mug shot revealed him to be an intense and sullen figure. No surprise there. In an Old City Hall courtroom on Friday “the accused face of bicycle theft in Toronto” appeared, weeks after he’d revealed his code to documentarian Lewis Farrell: “The bike is mine unless you have a police report.”

CORRECTION: JULY 28, 2008
The text accompanying today’s portrait originally suggested that Kenk had said “the bike is mine unless you have a police report” in court on Friday. Those words were actually recorded in an audio interview with Kenk weeks before that was conducted by Lewis Farrell. Torontoist regrets the error.

    I just appended a correction to the post; Kenk did not say “the bike is mine unless you have a police report” in court on Friday but weeks before in an audio interview.

    I really like this one.

    Yeah, really throws the Charlie-Manson-of-bike-theft thing into sharp relief.
