‘Roadsworth’ is a pertinent moniker for Montreal-based artist/activist Peter Gibson, whose canvas isn’t one of cloth or board, but is the kind of landscapes urban dwellers walk on every day.
Peter Gibson, aka Roadsworth, is taking mundane urban landscapes and making them his canvas in a epic mural/installation series that is half art, half activism.
His works are street art of epic proportions, splashed across sidewalks, roads, pedestrian crossings, plazas and bike paths which would otherwise be as dreary and mundane as any other urban landscape around the world.
For Gibson, his art is a form of activism, urging drivers get out of their cars and onto bicycles or foot where they can fully experience what has appeared around them. He also tackles issues like global refugee crisis’ and war.
Gibson recently updated his website with a huge selection of his latest works, which range from simple line patterns on park walkways, to huge murals curling around pedestrian crossings and animal heads stretching across roads.
