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.
Artists David Guinn and Phillip Adams completed the Habitations Jeanne Mance (HJM) series Les saisons montréalaises (Montreal Seasons) with an ode to Spring. The work immortalizes Montrealers taking advantage of the colours, odours, and picnics and flowering trees that characterize the arrival of good weather and of spring.
The given theme for all the artistic projects at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance was “nature and vegetation”. This artistic guideline was developed with the collaboration of the Corporation d’habitation Jeanne-Mance as part of a global improvement plan that aims to position the complex as the green heart of the downtown area. This second mural of the serie Les saisons montréalaises (The Montreal Seasons) depicts a contemporary landscape highlighting a dramatic winter scene.
The completion of the Mural “Cessez-le-feu” (Ceasefire) beautifully marks the conclusion of an important series which artist Phillip Adams began in 2012 at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance that is based on the four elements.
In keeping with the series of murals entitled Les Saisons montréalaises at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance housing project, MU has initiated another group of murals based on the four elements. Phillip Adams created this second mural of the group, with water as its central theme (the first, entitled L’air du temps, was also produced by Adams in 2012). It is located on Ontario Street, at the intersection of Hôtel-de-ville Avenue.
This mural was painted in 2016 by B.C. Johnson, with support from StreetARToronto’s Support Program. Johnson covered all four walls of the building (nearly 1000 square feet) with a freehand landscape design featuring Canadian flora and fauna. Upon completion of the mural, Johnson was hired by local businesses to paint numerous walls in the same plaza.
