MontrealArt in the Streets

montreal art in the streets

So begins my quest for this year to find original art hidden through out the city of Montreal. Montreal is a vibrant city of multi-cultured people spawning mosaic origins from all over the world. I am sure the art I will find can found and expressed in many cosmopolitans in North America. Each day when I travel to work and back home, I passed by the above mural as it slowly went up. Ever languidly color and lines sprawling on the red brick wall, and then the red disappeared as a whole new world breathed over the cemented facade. I never saw the artist who put it up. Like most of this type of work, they will grace walls and nobody to see who painted them. Permanent residents on the daily commute they evoke their own imagery to personal taste. I am just a camera capturing the soul of the image of a city unique that came to be Montreal and as I watch it decay and grow anew. This is a moment of time that I will travel to bring you a personal artistic journey of wonder and discovery. Like the first explorers to the island, I will as a resident rediscover my own backyard. Hope you enjoy this personal pleasure trip.
