Using ultra-bright colour and humour, his paintings highlight the distinct yet overlapping cultural realities of the city in ways that are playful, perverse, and particular to this place.
Dom Laporte
Dominic is a Canada-based muralist and illustrator whose work combines traditional painting and mixed-media techniques. His work largely focuses on themes embodying the natural world and most recently exploring symbiotic relationships found in nature and using those to carry out more in-depth concepts and narratives. Over the past decade, he has expanded his mural practice internationally and developed a distinct style that’s become a familiar feature of Ottawa’s urban environment. His work has always been inspired by his direct surroundings and the murals allow him to reach audiences who may not frequent art galleries. Laporte’s passion for community-based and accessible art forms compliments his background in traditional painting. Dominic and his partner Anaϊs Labrèque are founders of DRIFT, a mural production and public art company based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The focus at DRIFT Mural Co. is to beautify communities and celebrate the local identities they encounter through public art initiatives.
Dominik Kalita
Dom is a graphic designer and illustrator born in Banff and raised in Squamish. He draws influence from 1960s Eastern European cartoons, skateboard culture, and mountain life – he’s jam-packed with obscure movie references and cheesy 1-liners.
Although he got a lot of flack for being sarcastic growing up, he brings a unique POV into most of his work. Not bound to a particular medium—he has found himself working mainly in digital and with acrylics. In the simplest terms: Dom likes to make “stuff”— whether that be a site redesign to stickers to one of a kind carpets.
When Dom isn’t working he’s out and about skiing, biking or adventures with his dog. You can often spot him with his platinum blonde messy hair and talking to his dog like she understands every word.
Jillian Mundy
Jillian Mundy is a visual artist based in Vancouver. Her style can be described as illustrative and bold, with subjects that draw inspiration from traditional tattooing and technical graffiti-inspired structure. Jillian’s work primarily consists of flowing botanicals and aims to inject colour through organic compositions that depict nature and flowers. She is proficient in both digital and traditional mediums. Since 2020 she has been building a body of work that focuses on murals and large-scale installations.
