StudioChiale

flavours, all of which he transmuted into his art. A compulsive doodler who loves to experiment, Jimmy works in a variety of mediums, from canvas and illustration to mural and graphic design, approaching each with the playfulness and eagerness of a child. Yet the style, often mimicked but never replicated, remains unmistakably Chiale. His sure lines dance around the page like poetry and cut through abstraction like an alchemist turning concrete into gold. His credibility and popularity made him a prime candidate to design the backdrop to Justin Bieber’s set for his show at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall in 2015. Chiale collaborated with name brands such as Nike and Heineken, helped found a skate company Longboard Living, showed his work at a plethora of exhibitions and continues to receive commissions for live paintings, walls and murals. After curating a series of group shows, wanting to give back to the city that supported him, Jimmy opened his own gallery in 2014, called Jimmy Chiale’s 416 Gallery, where he featured a collective of over 50 artists, many of whom (including Alex Garant) have since achieved international success. Chiale’s work has been featured in many newspapers, magazines, books and blogs around the world. Some of these include: National Post, Rolling Stone, Mass Appeal, Decompoz Magazine, Lone Wolf, Modern Toronto, Nuvango, NXNE.com, Impulse Film Productions Inc.
