This mural by Yannick Picard, painted in 2007, is a piece of street art on a wall at 4105 47e rue, at the corner of Pie IX, in Montreal, Canada. It sits in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, a residential part of the city's north-east side where public art of this kind is part of the everyday streetscape.
About the artwork
The mural was produced under the Programme graffitis et murales, and its organising body was MU. It is a work of street art, meaning it is meant to be seen in the open, where people pass by on foot or by car, rather than inside a gallery.
Is it worth a visit?
- Good for those interested in street art and the public murals of Montreal.
- A short stop for anyone exploring the Pie IX corridor and the neighbourhoods around it.
- Best combined with a wider walk through the borough rather than as a trip on its own.
The city of Montreal maintains an online record for the mural, which lists its artist, year and organising programme, and can be consulted for further details before you go.
