This mural by Bryan Beyung stands at 1455 rue William-David in Montreal, Canada, on a wall in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. It was created in 2018 and is listed among the works produced under the city's Programme d'art mural, volet 2, which supports public murals across Montreal.
About the work
The mural was made by Bryan Beyung in collaboration with Y'a QuelQu'un l'aut'bord du mur, known as YQQ. Because the work sits on an exterior wall in a residential and working neighbourhood, it is seen as part of everyday street life rather than behind the walls of a gallery. It is a short visit for anyone interested in contemporary street art.
Visiting the area
- The mural is best approached on foot or by bicycle, so that you can take in the wall at your own pace.
- Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is an east-end borough of Montreal, and walking through its streets gives a sense of the neighbourhood around the artwork.
- The city's mural listing for this work, available through the Montreal city website, can help you confirm details before you go.
If you are planning a wider day of street art in Montreal, this mural makes a simple stop: a single wall, a clear location and a direct link to the city's public art programme.
