The Art of Fritz

Live Art · Toronto
Twenty years turning audiences into part of the piece — lighting the Vancouver Olympic torch relay with a spinning canvas, carrying sand art into the Saudi Arabian desert, painting live at Cirque du Soleil's VIP previews. Sand animation, live painting, body art, airbrush tattoos, murals — art on everything, for brands like Jack Daniels and Bacardi.
"Art is an experience, not an object." — Robert Motherwell

Traditional canvas, spinning canvas, LED light-canvas — even coffee, wine and ash. If it holds paint, there's a piece finished live on it.
Live Painting — On Canvas
0% paintedLive painting as a performance show can be done in as many ways as there are mediums and surfaces. It can be done on a canvas in the traditional fashion, or on a spinning canvas — as with the shows for the Vancouver Olympic Torch Relay. It can be done on LED light-canvases, as with the Cirque du Soleil VIP pre-show events. Or with exotic mediums entirely — coffee, wine, ash — and just about anything that holds paint.

Bodypainting — Iron Man & War MachineI have an enormous portfolio of body paintings done for hundreds of brands and special events. From armored Terracotta Warrior statues to honeycombed dancers for Jack Daniels, body painting is a fun and effective way to engage audiences at all types of events.
Halloween and theatrical makeup for businesses is a fun way for engagement and branding, as seen with Bacardi Canada as well as with events for the LGBTQ+ community.

All tattoo stencils are hand-cut, allowing for precision in design and branding — logos, brands or specific themes, with a quick turnaround.
Busy from the start of an event right through to the end, and loved by people of all ages.
