We Kill You - I Lose Track Of My Mind Sometimes

We Kill You - I Lose Track Of My Mind Sometimes from Nevermore Filmworks on Vimeo.

We Kill You opened his first Toronto solo show at the Gordon Daniel Gallery located at 460 Parliament Street, on Thursday, April 23rd, 2009. I was on hand with my video camera to capture the set up and the opening night party. Titled "I LOSE TRACK OF MY MIND SOMETIMES" the show showcases the most recent works from We Kill You. Everything from monster toys to paintings and portraits are available.

Personally I've been a fan of We Kill You for quite some time now. I first encountered his work about a week after I moved to Toronto. Being new to the city it was nice to see these random monster collages on walls and furniture left on the streets, it always brough a smile to my face. I'm not sure how I found out that it was We Kill You's work, but somehow I ended up tracking him down and bought one the Jurassic Park Monstre De Marais resin toys that he had out, and I was hooked.

The show does a fantastic job of showing the variety of ideas and skill sets that We Kill You possesses. I really loved the large kaleidoscope pieces with acrylic over top, which resulted in the piece casting a shadow that framed the painting with We Kill You's trademark monster characters.

If you're interested in any of the pieces see what's available HERE but don't sleep on this! The toys are moving fast, and the art isn't far behind either.
