Mural by Mateo is a street-art piece in Montreal, Canada, painted in 2014 on a wall in the alley at 5929 5e avenue, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough. It was created by the artist Mateo, whose full name is Mathieu Bories, and produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales in collaboration with SODER.
What to expect
This is an outdoor work found in a lane rather than on a main street, so it suits a slow walk through the neighbourhood. Because it sits in an alley, it is best viewed on foot, where you can stand at a distance and take in the full wall.
