This mural by Monk.E was painted in 2013 on a wall in an alley at 148 rue Jean Talon Ouest, in Montreal. It is one of the works produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, carried out with SODER, and it stands in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, in the north-east of the city's western neighbourhoods.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short, informal stop for street art, best made on foot.
- Location: an alley off rue Jean Talon Ouest, so look for the lane rather than the main street facade.
- Also known as: Murale située au 148, rue Jean Talon Ouest (ruelle).
Because the mural sits in a lane, it suits visitors who enjoy wandering off the main streets and noticing public art in everyday places. It can be combined with a walk along rue Jean Talon, one of the busy commercial streets of the borough, where cafés, shops and local businesses offer a taste of everyday neighbourhood life.
Planning your visit
The mural is an outdoor work, so it is open to view at any time you are in the alley. For the most up-to-date details on the artwork, the City of Montreal publishes a record for it on its murals page, available at ville.montreal.qc.ca/murales/detail/52.
