1750 BROADWAY, OAKLAND

by Troy Lovegates

Discovering graffiti "as an annoying skateboarder" in Toronto more than 30 years ago, and wondering how people got away with painting on everything from subways to walls, Derek Mehaffey, aka Troy Lovegates, aka Other, says he was lucky to be "born into the graffiti world in Canada before it was a marketing tool." A multi-talented artist, today Lovegates is known as widely for his murals and gallery installations as his sculptural creations. Lovegates describes his work as "methodical clutter"—"all that I see comes out" providing him a means of purging all the filler of the modern world. On Broadway in Oakland in 2019 Lovegates used this mural for @ABGProjects to paint a mash up of local faces combined with "whoever else I saw in the paint blobs."  @troy_lovegates/

Day 2 : met up with a Canadian friend last night and wandered the maze of the old city drinking beer and looking at all the murals and architectural wonders … somehow managed to get up early today and go for a short freezing swim in the Mediterranean … my mind is boggled by the layers upon layers of history and color and the motion of all the people in the streets … this afternoon I am going to take a break from the sun and try to conjure up a drawing of my time in Valencia so far …

FOREST FOR THE TREES NORTHWEST (FFTTNW)

by Troy Lovegates and Paige Wright

In the late 80s Troy Lovegates started to notice the graffiti on Toronto buildings “that would magically appear overnight.” Decades later, and now living in the Bay Area, Lovegates wanders the world collecting images and experiences, and painting portraits of ‘stolen souls.’ He told Athen B. Gallery “I like faces that have time imprinted on them.” While many observers assume they are homeless, for the most part they’re simply weathered, hard working people, unposed and captured on the sly. For Portland, Oregon’s 2015 Forest For The Trees festival Lovegates painted this ‘soul’ looking out over the intersection of SW Stark St. and 12th Ave in collaboration with Portland ceramicist Paige Wright who added the jawbone sculpture in the lower right. Artist and teacher, Wright is founder of The Wright Clay Studio.  @troy_lovegates  @thewrightclay  @ffttnw
