Have a look at some of the murals from this months MURAL festival in Montreal, which began in 2013.
There is no discernible theme among the collection here aside from many of them being technically outstanding. MURAL itself has become a very commercial gathering of food and lifestyle vendors, VIP events, a small art fair, hella-brands and djs and, you know, beards.
Klone Yourself and Phillipe Pantone are a couple of the artists pushing boundaries here, with the latter skillfully reproducing a 90’s computer art that is nostalgic and smartly updated in its 3-D rendering.
Our great thanks to photographer Daniel Esteban Rojas who did an outstanding job capturing these to share with BSA readers.
