This mural by the artist Mateo, whose full name is Mathieu Bories, was created in 2013 and can be found in an alley at 2650 rue Masson, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It is one of the works produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, which was administered by SODER.
What to expect
Because the mural sits in a lane rather than on a main street, it is best approached on foot, at a slow pace. It suits a visitor interested in street art and in seeing how Montreal's public walls have been used for commissioned painting. The alley setting means you see the work within its everyday surroundings, not in a gallery.
