This mural by Laurent Gascon is a street-art work on a building at 3845 rue Ontario Est, in Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2016 and is also known as the mural located at 3845, rue Ontario Est.
About the work
The mural was produced by the Société pour Promouvoir les Arts Gigantesques (SPAG) as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), a mural programme that brings large-scale painted works to Montreal's streets. Its place within that programme gives it a clear public purpose: it was commissioned to be seen from the street by anyone passing by.
What a visit offers
- A walk-by artwork: the mural is best enjoyed on foot, at street level, where its scale and setting can be appreciated.
- A look at public art in Montreal: it is a good example of how the city's mural programme places art in everyday neighbourhoods.
- Easy to combine: a stop here can fit into a longer walk or a day exploring the area around rue Ontario Est.
