City Shapes 2026
Client: Manga Hotel Group
182 Spadina Avenue Toronto, Ontario
500+ Sq Ft Hoarding Installation
Facilitated by STEPS Public Art
Colourful digital artwork printed over 500+ sq ft of hoarding wall at 182 Spadina Ave, Toronto (Queen & Spadina). Created for leading Canadian hospitality investment, development, and management group Manga Hotel Group during the development of their new Hyatt House hotel. This project was facilitated by STEPS Public Art.
Created using Adobe Illustrator through a process of texture creation and layering. 'City Shapes' is an abstract study of the way buildings, art, and environment overlap in downtown Toronto. The layered shapes of windows, concrete ridges, and paint splatters echo Toronto's mix of vibrant artistic energy and gritty concrete and construction. This highly bold and energetic piece lives in an equally frantic and high traffic intersection.
