FUSION OF CANADIAN IMAGERY WITH URBAN CULTURE
Infused with Canadian imagery, Whatisadam WIA’s style is reminiscent of old comic books and pop art. Representations of North American wildlife and landscapes are common themes in his work, but they are always reimagined to feature elements of urban culture, as seen in his maple syrup cans, tattooed ducks, and hockey thugs. Whatisadam has collaborated with many organizations such as Osheaga, Sprite, Hennessy, Roots Canada and many others.
