Stikki Peaches 'Sade' Print Available

Artist: Stikki Peaches
Title: Sade
Medium: Mixed Media on Paper
Size: 24 x 36 Inches
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $1,350 CAD

Stikki Peaches is an anonymous Canadian street artist who originated from Montreal, renowned globally for his vibrant, multi-layered wheat-paste prints and satirical graffiti. He operates in complete anonymity, always appearing masked in photographs, a persona that has drawn comparisons to Banksy. His artistic journey began in the fashion industry, where he worked as a designer, influenced by his father, a tailor, and his mother, a seamstress. This background in textiles is evident in his unique, mixed-media style that involves superimposing layers of paper, old magazines, comics, fabrics, and found objects, which he then embellishes with spray paint and various drawing tools. This complex layering creates what he calls "beautifully controlled chaos," blurring the line between urban debris and fine art.
 Stikki Peaches is best known for his provocative signature tagline, "What if Art Ruled the World?" which serves as a recurring question in his work and a commentary on how a society governed by artistic expression might be free from conflict. His art frequently features nostalgic pop culture references, including iconic figures from music, film, and comics like Batman, Elvis Presley, and Kate Moss, often juxtaposed with punk symbols and tattoo designs. Starting his street art career in 2009, his large-scale murals can be found on city walls in major metropolises worldwide, including Paris, New York, London, Berlin, and Toronto. Stikki Peaches was a pioneer in bringing the ephemeral medium of wheat-paste collage into the gallery space, and his highly sought-after works are now exhibited in international galleries and art fairs like Art Basel Miami, with collectors including celebrities such as Lady Gaga.

Pat Cantin 'Sur Le Sable' Print Available

Artist: Pat Cantin
Title: Sur Le Sable
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 8.5 x 11 Inches
Edition: 25
Price: $80 CAD

  

Pat Cantin is a French Canadian contemporary abstract artist, born in Jonquière, Quebec, in 1978. He earned a bachelor's degree in visual and media arts and after many years working in the web industry, decided in 2012 to commit himself entirely to painting. Cantin's artistic approach embraces spontaneity and raw emotion, with a philosophy that views "consistency as a waste of time" and an obstacle to true creativity. His creative process, for the most part, is a fluid experience; while an initial idea of composition or color may exist, the final result is never predetermined and is guided by the movement of the materials themselves.
Cantin is primarily known for his abstract, semi figurative work, which he describes as "anti portrait" art. He uses a blend of oil, acrylic, and spray paint in his pieces, often applying the paint directly to the canvas with his hands. He finds that using his hands allows him to feel the texture and maintain a total control over his gesture that brushes or spatulas would not. His portraits intentionally omit traditional facial features like eyes, challenging the viewer to look elsewhere in the composition to interpret the subject's emotion or character. This approach leads to varied and deeply personal interpretations from each spectator.
Beyond portraits, Cantin also explores the symbolism of everyday objects, focusing on the common metal chair. He sees these chairs as receptacles of the "invisible trace" or emotional "burden" that people leave behind in their environment. Through his art, he aims to visually demonstrate the profound impact every word and gesture has on those around us. This work, like his portraits, encourages a thoughtful engagement with the hidden emotional landscape of human interaction. Cantin's original paintings and lenticular art are available through his official website, allowing collectors to experience his dynamic, expressionistic work firsthand.

Faile 'Holiday Block And Roll' Wood Blocks Available

Artist: Faile
Title: Holiday Block And Roll
Medium: Acrylic, Aerosol and Screen Print On Wood Blocks
Size: (8) 2 x 2 x 2 Inches Each
Edition: 125
Price: $200

 

FAILE is the Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (b. 1975, Edmonton, Canada) and Patrick Miller (b. 1976, Minneapolis, USA), known for its wide-ranging multimedia practice that blurs the lines between "high" and "low" culture. The name FAILE is an anagram of their original project, "A Life," and reflects the duo's philosophy of transformation. Since their inception in 1999, FAILE has established itself as a significant force in contemporary art, recognized as pioneers in the global street art movement.
Their signature style is a fragmented form of appropriation and collage, constructed from found imagery and characterized by bold graphics, vibrant colors, and dynamic typography. FAILE's work draws heavily from American pop culture, advertising, comic books, and pulp magazines, blending these elements into visually complex narratives.
While painting and printmaking remain central to their approach, the artists have adapted their style to a vast array of materials and techniques, including large-scale murals, screenprints, sculptures, and ambitious interactive installations. Notable projects include large-scale "Prayer Wheels" in Times Square and an urban temple in Portugal, as well as the interactive "Deluxx Fluxx" arcade, which features customized video games and pinball machines.
FAILE's art is widely exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Brooklyn Museum and the Tate Modern, and their pieces command a wide range at auction. Through their diverse output, FAILE continues to explore themes of duality, consumerism, and the ephemeral nature of urban art, inviting audience participation and challenging conventional artistic boundaries.

Chris Austin 'Give Yourself Space' Original Available

Artist: Chris Austin
Title: Give Yourself Space
Medium: Gouache on Wood
Size: 30 x 30 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Prices: $2,160

Canadian artist Chris Austin, a self-taught painter and sculptor based in Toronto, is renowned for his surreal, vibrant artwork that blends unexpected elements of nature to explore themes of environmental change and interconnectedness. His unique visual style, which he describes as a "mash-up", draws inspiration from graffiti, collage, and sign writing, resulting in images that are both playful and introspective.
Austin's work often features majestic, sometimes feared, apex predators like sharks, bears, and orcas, placed in serene, unnatural, yet recognizable terrestrial landscapes such as forests or fields. He intentionally uses these surprising juxtapositions to challenge the viewer's perceptions of these animals, presenting them not as threats but as vital parts of a delicate ecosystem in need of protection. His paintings possess an otherworldly, luminous quality achieved through extensive experimentation with acrylic and gouache paints, a technique that he constantly refines through trial and error.
With a meticulous process grounded in research and photo references taken during his hikes, Austin's finished works often feature flat colors without volume or shadow, focusing instead on strong composition and color palettes. His art has been exhibited in galleries internationally.

Ewa Medrek 'Downpour' Print Available

Artist: Ewa Medrek
Title: Downpour
Medium: 1 Color Linocut Print
Size: 38 x 27 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Price: $80

 

Ewa Medrek is a Polish Canadian artist who invites viewers into a dreamscape where botanical elegance meets modern digital craft. Born in Kraków, she studied graphic arts at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts, absorbing centuries of European printmaking tradition before relocating across the Atlantic. Her Etsy storefront, EwaMedrekGraphiques, serves as both gallery and laboratory, offering archival giclée prints, hand finished canvases and downloadable wall art that carry her distinctive vision into homes around the world.
Medrek’s imagery flourishes in muted jewel tones and soft gradients, depicting stylized flowers, birds and female silhouettes that float in undefined space. She begins each piece with loose graphite sketches, then layers watercolor washes, digital painting and subtle gold foil accents, building depth that feels simultaneously vintage and contemporary. The absence of hard edges allows petals and feathers to melt into one another, suggesting movement caught between breaths.
Influenced by Art Nouveau posters, pre war botanical illustrations and the quiet melancholy of Eastern European folklore, she seeks to create beauty that functions as emotional sanctuary. Her limited edition prints often sell out within hours, yet she keeps prices accessible, believing original art should belong to more than galleries and museums. Commissions have included album covers for indie folk bands, wine label series for Niagara vineyards and large scale murals inside wellness spas, each project expanding her vocabulary of organic forms.
When not drawing, Medrek explores Montréal greenhouses with sketchbook in hand, collecting reference material and teaching workshops on digital illustration techniques. Through every piece she offers a gentle reminder that grace still exists, waiting to be noticed in the curve of a stem or the hush of a moonlit garden.

Dylan Thomas 'Five Ravens' Print Available

Artist: Dylan Thomas
Title: Five Ravens
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 30 x 18.5 Inches
Edition: 125
Price: $200

Dylan Thomas is a Canadian artist born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1986. He is a member of the Lyackson First Nation (Valdes Island) and carries Coast Salish, Songhees, Squamish and Snuneymuxw ancestry. Although raised in an urban setting, he was introduced to Salish art as a child through family cultural practice and later undertook formal training in Northwest Coast form line, studying jewellery techniques under the late Seletze (Delmar Johnnie) and working with established artist Rande Cook.
Thomas describes his creative approach as “Sacred Geometry,” a term that also served as the title of his 2016 solo exhibition at Alcheringa Gallery. His paintings, prints and engraved jewellery merge traditional Salish ovoids, crescents and trigons with precise mathematical patterning drawn from Buddhist mandalas, Celtic knot work and Islamic tessellations. The result is luminous, symmetrical imagery that speaks to both cultural continuity and cross-cultural connection. Deep jewel tones and crisp line work animate drums, paddles and large canvases, while his gold and silver bracelets often embed subtle equations within the curves, linking ancestral iconography to contemporary concepts of infinity and balance.
Thomas has exhibited at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, has been featured in Contemporary Art on the Northwest Coast and has had work published in The Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, underscoring the scholarly interest in his fusion of art and numeric harmony. By situating Coast Salish visual language within global geometric traditions, Dylan Thomas expands the conversation around Indigenous art, demonstrating that ancestral form line can converse fluently with modern science, spirituality and design.
