This mural by Nayan is a street-art piece painted in 2013 on a wall in the alley at 5012, 7e avenue, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It is one of the works produced under the city's graffiti and mural programme, carried out with SODER.
What to expect
- Location: an alley (ruelle) rather than a main street, so it suits a slow walk through the neighbourhood.
- Origin: created in 2013 as part of the Programme graffitis et murales for SODER.
- Artist: Nayan.
- Also known as: "Murale située au 5012, 7e avenue (ruelle)".
Visiting the area
The mural is best seen as part of a wider outing in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, a residential borough where murals and street art appear along its lanes and walls. Because the work sits in an alley, it is a quiet, local sight rather than a landmark set apart from daily life, so it is worth approaching with the same courtesy you would give any neighbourhood street.
For more about the work, the City of Montreal's mural listing for this piece is available at ville.montreal.qc.ca, under its murals section (detail 47). Visitors who enjoy street art may find that the alley makes a pleasant addition to a walk through the borough, and Montreal as a whole offers many other murals to compare it with.
