A street art re-interpretation of the old trope of St. George the Martyr, battling the Dragon. This 2015 version is based on a 1502 renaissance painting by Vittore Carpaccio. In the new version the figures have been warped using photoshop and stripped of their 16th century surroundings. They instead exist here, in Toronto, displayed on the raw cinderblock of a former industrial warehouse building in the West End. In a notable change from former paintings of the same theme, this St. George has no lance, and the Dragon flees in fear rather than battling the martyr. Jacob Hughes’ version was painted as a response to a different mural by artist Istvan Kantor, on the same wall. The mural has since received a third layer response by artist Oscar Figueroa, as the wall (and neighbourhood) continue/s to evolve.
Lovegates’ silo playfully piles on a diverse group of characters as they climb on top of each other and hang from the ‘South Liberty Trail’ text.
Both the silo and hopper by Alexander Bacon include imagery that represents both the past and bright future of Liberty Village.
The silo’s cylindrical shape serves as the conceptual starting point for birdO’s message; the necessity of a greater synchronicity between the natural and anthropomorphic world.
Jarus’ approach to the South Liberty silo emphasizes the human gaze within an area of industrial buildings and residential towers, reminding the viewer that nature is there if we just take a look.

I wanted to remind them a little of their old…

To mark the 80th anniversary of Oliver Jones (September 11th, 2014), MU celebrates the immense talent of this great Montrealer, pianist and teacher by producing a large outdoor mural in Little Burgundy where he grew up. He will now be immortalized on the wall of Habitations Albert, near the Parc des Jazzmen, by muralists Dan Buller and Five Eight.
The given theme for all the artistic projects at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance is “nature and vegetation”. This first mural of the serie Les saisons montréalaises (The Montreal Seasons) depicts a contemporary landscape highlighting the beautiful autumn colours.
