This mural by the artist Benny Wilding stands at 6653 rue Saint-André, on a building in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal. It was created in 2021 and forms part of the city's public art programme, a visit that suits anyone exploring the street-art side of the city on foot.
About the artwork
The mural was produced by AGC Art Public, known as Artgang, under the Programme d'art mural (volet 2), the second strand of Montreal's public mural initiative. The city's own record for the work, which is also listed under the name "Murale située au 6653 rue Saint-André", gives the artist, the programme and the year, and is the best place to check any further detail about the piece.
