ART: New York–based artist Tim Okamura and Calgary graffiti artist TheKidBelo (David Brunning) explore the broadly interpreted concepts of "Love, Strength & Soul" in their second joint exhibit, which features several collaborative canvases as well as individual works. Okamura's gritty realism and detailed inner-city subjects slam up against TheKidBelo's bold, precise letterforms to create a vibrant collection. Often spawned from observations of life on the streets of New York, Okamura's work combines almost-academic figure painting with collage, spraypaint, and mixed media. TheKidBelo's distinct graffiti style plays with the relationship between linguist, colourist, and draftsman, and favours darker connotations of such easily tossed aside words as "love." Together, their contrasting styles carve a striking emotional landscape from urban iconography and imagery. Show & Tell Gallery (1161 Dundas Street West), 7–11 p.m., FREE. more ›
