This mural sits at the entrance of an alley at 6905 rue Garnier in Montreal, Canada. It is a piece of street art made in 2016 by Mateo, whose full name is given as Mathieu Bories, and it was produced in partnership with SODER under the city's Programme d'art mural, second strand.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short, self-guided stop on a walk through the neighbourhood, best seen from the street at the alley entrance.
- Location: rue Garnier, Montreal, in Quebec, Canada.
- Background: the work was commissioned through the city's public mural programme, which places artworks on walls across Montreal.
Because the mural is set at an alley entrance, it works well as a point of interest when you are exploring on foot. Its scale and surroundings are best judged in person, so it is worth arriving with a little time to look around.
