Description

“Enter the world of Runt. At once familiar and unfamiliar, his works are of this world but definitely not of this world. Informed by a wide range of influences from Hieronymus Bosch to Dr. Seuss, Runt’s work embodies a love and critique of humanity as his scenescapes play out in front of the viewer’s eyes. If one could press “play” on any of his scenes and advance them, the scenes would look entirely different. Runt’s characters capture the joy of our urban existence. But the beauty in Runt’s works is that they don't judge, they simply present. Known for his large murals, Lee’s Palace and The Electric Mud BBQ, Runt’s art is found in many private collections. Runt’s passionate adventure has turned into a career as one of Canada’s singular visionaries, on par with other 80s icons such as Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf.” (Reference: Mark Quail)
