This mural by Thomas Csano stands on the corner of rue Iberville and rue Jarry in Montreal, Canada, tucked beneath the boulevard Métropolitain. It is a piece of street art, made in 2014, and it sits in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, a residential and working district on the city's north side.
What to expect
The work was produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, carried out in collaboration with MU. For a visitor, it makes a short, low-key stop rather than a destination in itself. Because it lies under an elevated highway, the setting is part of the experience: the wall, the traffic overhead and the neighbourhood streets all frame the painting.
