Jon Todd
Graduated from Sheridan College in Toronto, Jon Todd has developed a unique style based on a process of layering in his artwork which includes altogether tattoo graphics, street art, Asian, Northern Europe and Mexican culture as his many influences. By absorbing each of those, he works with different themes, processes and stylisations in each piece. Both a fine artist and illustrator, his work represents timeless depictions of social issues and pop culture iconography, both past and present. While exploring themes of war, corruption, and internal struggle, Jon Todd uses as many medium as possible as a part of his creative process such as objects, wallpapers, screen prints, Sharpies and belt sanders. His multimedia paintings resemble kaleidoscopic mosaics charged with iconography. These highly personal reflections, despite their vivacity, mainly deal with issues about misguided stigmas, psychosis and miscommunication. Quickly gaining international recognition, he has exhibited widely in North America and has won several awards for his work, namely for Applied Arts magazine.
