Behind the Art

Vivid Brick is a collection of art influenced by popular and street culture created by Chicago-based artist Erick Ontiveros. His love for art started as a young child, creating poster boards for school book reports then continued on to larger canvas and other mediums. The idea for the name Vivid Brick came from the combination of the colorful and exclamatory nature of new school art and the rigidness of brick that can withstand the test of time. Erick's goal is to expand his art across the Chicagoland area and maybe one day share his art throughout other cities with murals and gallery shows.
