SFU Art Gallery has new “bathroom graffiti” exhibit, reports student who took wrong turn

Grafitti

BURNABY — According to Tim Burns — a student who must have taken a wrong turn somewhere on his way to the Art Gallery — there is a brand new exhibition that highlights the work of bathroom graffiti artist, as well as a significant tribute to sink fixtures and mirrors.

While SFU galleries’ spokespeople claim that their current featured display is of the work of Samuel Roy-Bois, an artist who, to their knowledge, was not primarily inspired by lavatories, Burns was thoroughly impressed by the work he saw on display, going as far as to say it was “the best work he’s ever seen at the gallery.”

Burns said the work he encountered was quite awe-inspiring and contained some of the most detailed penis sketches he’s ever seen. He also said that he was almost brought to tears by some of the poetry on display, particularly one entitled “Jaspreet is a fag” which was written by a literary genius with the pseudonym “your mom.”

While it seems pretty clear that Burns was just in one of the AQ’s nearby men’s washrooms and not the art gallery, he’s been promoting the exhibit enthusiastically with his only warning to potential visitors being not to use flash photography since fellow patrons take that very seriously and may eject you from the premises.
