Toronto-based street artist Elicser’s stylized portraits are a staple of his city’s downtown graffiti scene. The artist achieves an impressive, equally-gritty-and-soft, painterly effect while jamming out surreal scenes of distorted figures, animal-human hybrids, and tree-hugs with spray cans. Influenced by Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, Elicser is a graduate of the Illustration program at Sheridan College, and has been producing and showing work in Toronto more than a decade. Elicser’s gallery practice often consists of free-form collages. Elicser visited Rochester in 2014 to paint one heck of a sweet piggyback ride at 438 W. Main Street.
