Portrait Project: He Has Spoken
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. |
