Oil Rush

A basic landscape. A city before it became itself. One building and one smokestack stand in a realm of potential, foretelling an impressive future in the oil and gas industry. To the right, a lone strip of yellow stands for a small, quiet, hard-working community. The unprecedented economic boom to follow is represented in the bar of colours shooting up the left-hand side, growing exponentially in a range of colours reflecting the blood, sweat, and tears of the diverse people who made this possible.
The eager and the hopeful came and built up this community. None could have predicated the outcome. A city of growth, of strength, of nobility. These characteristics are shown in the strong shapes and long lines of the piece, the bold shades and unpredictable use of colour.

Biography:
Liam Mojique Legault
Liam Mojique Renner was born in Vancouver, B.C., Canada in 1982. His geometrical and abstract vision is accentuated through his bold colour choices. His art has texture that invites touch and brush strokes that invigorate soul–his energy brings street art to the canvas.
“There is a certain power you harness when you create. When your creativity encompasses your passion and emotion you can make beautiful things. Simply being aware that colour can change someone's mood without a single word being said... makes art larger than all of us. I believe we must create freely with that in mind.
Being a self- taught artist who is in constant search of discovery, personal growth, and knowledge for the arts , his development is evident with each piece of new work. Liam transforms the inspiration of life from personal experience, to colour and passion with his brushwork .
