" T.O.O" (The Only One)

All art invites criticism. Comparison. Judgement. Rejection. Acceptance. Reverence. It rarely occurs within the span of a single lifetime. The good artist borrows from the past and contemporaries. The great artist steals and creates something which exists as an entirely new way of treating the tried and true. It is a distillation process, resulting in a unique vision, taste or sound. The process overtakes the artist himself. The artist and his art become one, indistinguishable. This man, who hails from the G.T.A., with Ethiopian roots, has carved out a unique vision.

One could spend hours trying to identify influences in his body of work, but in the end, there is no denying something new has emerged. It’s more than pleasant or catchy or beautiful- and is there no more room for beautiful art?

Every time someone declares it’s all been done- the indefatigable soul of human creativity re-emerges.

So the artist distills his expression which often begins as “me too” into T.O.O.( The Only One)
