Roadsworth (Peter Gibson )




The artist uses stencils to adapt the existing road graphics, mainly on the streets of Montreal, initially as a protest against the lack of cycle lanes, but increasingly as a commentary on car culture, oil dependancy and authoritarianism.
I like the use bold stencil imagery to represent the underlying issues. By collaborating his work into something that is used every and directly associated tot he subject I think that the artist communicates the message effectively. The use of visual metpnym with the plug, ammunitions and etc is also applied
