Go up the side of Toronto’s vibrant new 23-storey mural

The Spanish artist's vibrant work perfectly represents his belief that art and cities must be for everyone. »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe You can see his murals all around the world — Taiwan, Morocco, Russia, India, South Africa — and now the internationally renowned Spanish street artist known as Okuda has completed three pieces across Canada in Vancouver, Toronto and most recently Edmonton. "I have a responsibility because big artwork in the street is for everyone. Art has to be for everyone." We caught up with Okuda San Miguel in the midst of leaving his indelible mark on the city of Toronto. After two years of planning, one month of painting by local artists, 10 days with the artist himself, 960 cans of paint and 140 gallons of latex, Okuda's 23-storey mural "Equilibrium" went up at the intersection of Carleton and Jarvis. The project was a collaboration between The STEPS Initiative, StreetARToronto and Knightstone Capital's Parkside Student Residence. While it's not the tallest mural in Toronto — that honour actually goes to another STEPS mural produced in 2013 at 200 Wellesley St. E. — it is Okuda's tallest mural to date. Okuda believes that modern cities need to promote inclusivity, which is why amongst the complex geometry, colour blocking and cosmic surrealist patterns signature to his work, a message of equality is sewn throughout each piece through the colours of the rainbow flag.
