Mural by Mateo is a street-art piece on the wall of 1450 rue Jean Talon, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It was painted in 2014 by the artist Mateo, whose full name is Mathieu Bories, as part of the city's Programme graffitis et murales, organized by SODER.
What to expect
This is an outdoor work, so a visit means a short walk along one of the neighbourhood's streets rather than a ticketed indoor experience. It suits anyone interested in urban art who likes to come across a mural in its everyday setting, among shops and passers-by on rue Jean Talon.
