This mural by Yannick Picard, painted in 2008, is found at 8090 rue des Érables in Montreal, Canada. The address places it in the borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, a mostly residential part of the city where street art is part of the everyday streetscape.
What to expect
This is a street-art piece rather than an indoor attraction, so a visit means walking up to the wall on the street. It suits a short, low-key stop, whether you are exploring the neighbourhood on foot or adding it to a wider walk through the city's murals.
The work and its setting
The mural was produced under the Programme graffitis et murales, a city initiative, with MU as the organising body. Its project record lists Yannick Picard as the artist and gives 2008 as the year it was made. The site is also known under the French name Murale située au 8090, rue des Érables.
Because the surrounding area is largely residential, the mural is best approached as part of a neighbourhood stroll. Visitors interested in Montreal's public art will find it a useful example of how the city's wall paintings are spread across its districts rather than concentrated in one place.
