Kestin Cornwall - Elicser Elliott: Toronto's Street Artist
Elicser Elliott has a few years on me but I grew up watching his work cultivate after being introduced to his effort by my good friend and fellow artist Martin Wittfooth. Martin Wittfooth, Jon Todd, Elicser Elliott and I all have one thing in common, we all attended Sheridan College. Jerome Jenner and I also featured Elicser Elliott in the 1i5 Studios T.O.P. Tour, that we held in Montreal a few years ago at the Yves Laroche Gallery.
Elicser Elliott, Toronto’s most recognized street artist, has been invited for a two-month artist residency in South Africa. “Dear Toronto” is a travel log project - Elicser will be sketching, drawing, painting, and more, with his city in mind.
Each day will be documented and compiled into a travel log that will be distributed digitally to all contributors. His journey begins on March 6th, heading to Cape Town where he will be based at A Word of Art as a participant in their residency program for 2 months (returning May 6th). Click, for more details.
