The Mural by Nayan is a street-art work in Montreal, Canada, painted in 2014 by the artist Nayan. It sits in the alley behind 5881 4e avenue, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, on the city's east side.
About the work
The mural was produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, carried out in collaboration with SODER. Murals made through this programme are part of Montreal's wider public-art landscape, and this one is listed in the city's own mural records, which is a useful reference if you want to read more about its background.
What kind of visit it makes
This is a short, informal stop rather than a destination in itself. It suits a walk through the neighbourhood, where you can take in the work at street level and see how murals are integrated into the everyday streetscape of a residential area. Because it is in an alley, approach it on foot and look around you as you go, keeping in mind that it is a working lane used by people living nearby.
- Type: street art, mural in an alley
- Area: Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Montreal
- Best paired with: a wander through the surrounding streets and other murals in the borough
