San Francisco-based, Canadian artist Troy Lovegates, AKA “Other,” paints walls, trains, and all manner of canvases with overlapping bring colors, geometric patterns, and figurative elements. A very prolific street artist, Lovegates travels the world to share his visions of beautiful, dense chaos that simultaneously speak of classical, surrealist, and folk traditions. Lovegates visited Rochester in August 2014 and painted a cloud-clutching, masked man, “The Dreamer” on the Fedder Building just off Main Street. Troy Lovegates may be better known by the name “Other.”
