ODVS Art Studio — graffiti and large-format murals, Toronto, since 1997

It is priced by the square foot, and the rate depends on the wall — how big it is, how much detail it carries, how hard it is to reach, and what the space is worth to your business. A feature wall in a private home and a multi-store retail programme are different orders of magnitude, and quoting either from a webpage would be guesswork. Tell us about the wall through the form below and you will get a real number against your actual space.

Faster than most people expect. A single interior wall is usually painted in a day. A multi-store program like the Sobeys rollout runs one to two weeks end to end, planned store by store. You get the schedule at the brief, before anything is committed.

Usually, yes. Work is planned around your hours, and Kostya paints overnight where that suits you better — retail and hospitality walls often go up between close and open, so the room is trading as normal the next morning. A single wall is typically a one-day job either way. Multi-site programs are often painted on panels in the studio and installed store by store, which keeps most of the work off your floor entirely.

Yes. Interior and exterior both — the portfolio runs from a brick exterior to gym block to a residential basement to retail panels. Exterior work is finished with an anti-graffiti clear coat, which is what lets a wall take weather and traffic.

Always. You see the piece on your own wall, to scale and in place, before a single can is opened. Nothing gets painted off a description.

That is the Sobeys program: one visual system, painted store by store across Ontario, with each location getting its own landmark in the same hand. Franchise and multi-site work is a core part of what this studio does.

Photorealism, hand lettering, character work, 3D illusion, and brand work built around an identity. Most commissions mix several. The range is the point — one studio, so a program stays consistent across every wall in it.

Every wall is sealed with an anti-graffiti clear coat and the site is left clean — a finish built to hold up to weather and traffic rather than to look good for a season.

Toronto and Mississauga as a matter of course, and the wider GTA and Ontario for programs. Further afield across Canada for the right wall.

Kostya Sukhobrus, on every project. He leads each one personally and brings assistants in for scale rather than handing the wall to a crew — so the artist whose portfolio you are looking at is the one who paints yours. He has been at it since 1997, from illegal walls in Odessa to national retail programs across Ontario, which is why the lettering holds up next to the photorealism: both were learned on walls, at scale, under pressure.
