2023 SUMMER MOON MURALISTS
EMMANUEL JARUS
Location: 124 Bruce St
Emmanuel Jarus is a Canadian-born artist and muralist inspired by the visual human experience. His work reimagines how art can exist in public spaces. For the past
10 years, Jarus has been working with communities across Canada and around the globe to produce large-scale portraits and figures among other images on wall surfaces. They can be found within major cities as well as across rural settings. He has had notable international recognition
as a contemporary muralist and figurative painter.
It is Jarus' mission as an artist to observe life, interpret and visually reflect these experiences through his mural work. Allowing space for the mural to organically create itself
takes precedence as the site's surroundings primarily inspire the mural content.
