A Show Called Wrycraft
This is a show of original photographs and digital collage art pieces based on
album designs from the past five years. It runs from October 1 to November 1,
2006 at the Starbucks located at Queen West and Claremont (two lights west of
Bathurst) in Toronto.
The artist/photographer's name is Michael Wrycraft.
Using the name "A Man Called Wrycraft" Michael is one of the leading album
package / music designers in Canada. He is the proud holder of one Juno award
and five Juno nominations as well as two nominations and one American
Independent Music Award, all for album design
Of particular note he has designed the last five Bruce Cockburn albums
(Breakfast In New Orleans..., Anything Anytime Anywhere, You've Never Seen
Everything, Speechless and Life Short Call Now) as well as all of the Blackie &
the Rodeo Kings albums and posters to date.
The show is a series of 25 numbered Limited Edition archival prints of original
photos and photo illustrations/collages taken from albums by artists including
Bruce Cockburn, Martyn Joseph, Garnet Rogers, Oliver Schroer, Blackie & the
Rodeo Kings and many, many more.
Taken out of the context of the original album designs these are compelling art
pieces with a hint of musical flavor. These are on view during regular Starbucks
hours and are for sale at a very reasonable price.
Michael can be found at the show on Saturday, October 1, answering questions,
talking about the pieces and generally fishing for compliments.
Drop by Saturday or over the next month and check out this visually compelling
show and take home some Bruce, Blackie or many others in fine art form.
