CCC's Street Art Contest #224 Monk.E & Opire (UP 2024), Montreal

Also during this year's Under Pressure festival, we had the chance to have a superb collaboration between Monk.E and Opire, two great artists from the Montreal StreetArt scene. The mural is entitled Mon Chien est Mort (My Dog Is Dead), I don't know if it's the dog of one of the artists. But it's a lovely tribute, perfect for taking part in the CCC's Street Art Contest #224 organised by @digi-me.

Toujours durant le festival Under Pressure de cette année, nous avons eu le droit à une superbe collaboration de Monk.E et Opire, deux immenses artistes de la scène StreetArt montréalaise. La murale s'intitule Mon Chien est Mort, je ne sais pas s'il s'agit le chien de l'un des artistes. Mais très bel hommage, parfait pour participer au CCC's Street Art Contest #224 organisé par @digi-me.

WHERE

On the corner of Boisbriand street and Saint Dominique street in Montreal. This is the back wall of the venue formerly known as Metropolis. Now it has taken the name of a sponsor, a mobile phone company, the name is not so good (MTelus) 😀.

Au coin de la rue Boisbriand et de la rue Saint Dominique à Montréal. Il s'agit du mur arrière de la salle de spectacle anciennement appelée Métropolis. Maintenant elle a pris le nom d'un sponsor, une compagnie de téléphone cellulaire, le nom est moins bien (MTelus) 😀.

Monk.E & Opire

Monk.E is a regular in my StreetArt series with always quality work. I often use his murals to participate in CCC's Street Art Contest like today 😀. As reminder, Monk.E is a Hip-Hop artist and musician (he has just released an album). He began graffiti several years ago when he founded the collective K6A. He describes himself as a Alchemiographist.

Monk.E est un régulier de ma série StreetArt avec toujours des oeuvres de qualité. Souvent j'utilise ses murales pour participer au CCC's Street Art Contest comme aujourd'hui 😀. Puur rappel, Monk.E est un artiste et musicien Hip-Hop (il vient de sortir un album). Il commença, il y a déjà quelques années, le graffiti en fondant le collectif K6A. Il se définit comme un Alchimiographiste.

It's been a long time since I've seen any new work by Opire. The last post about him was before HIVE, see StreetArt #138 in February 2019. A pioneer of StreetArt in Montreal, he's now more active in the studio with paintings.

Cela fait longtemps que je n'ai pas vu une nouvelle oeuvre de Opire. Le dernier post à son sujet remonte avant HIVE, voir StreetArt #138 en février 2019. C'est un pionnier du StreetArt à Montréal, maintenant il est plus actif en atelier avec des peintures.

On this mural *My Dog Is Dead, I think Opire did the dog and Monk.E did the background with his distinctive lettering. It's a really beautiful piece of work. What do you think? I don't know if the little rabbit on the side of the wall is part of the work or independent (it seems unrelated 🤔 ).

Sur cette murale Mon Chien est Mort, je pense que Opire a réalisé le chien et que Monk.E s'est occupé du fond avec son lettrage particulier. Vraiment très belle réalisation. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Je ne sais pas si le petit lapin sur le côté du mur fait partie de l'oeuvre ou c'est indépendant (il semble ne pas avoir de rapport 🤔).

Yes, I agree with you about the rabbit... I like him with those flowers above his head.
Have a lovely day too

I think the dog is in heaven chasing rabbits 😀

This is a very nice piece on such a large wall. I'm glad it is still clean from other people tagging over it!

The mural is only from August and murals done during Under Pressure are usually left untagged as the organisers invite everyone, so there's no need to be jealous 😀

I'm not even sure about the rules for these random buildings on the NYC city streets. I'm sure for some they have permission from the owner to paint, but there is not nearly as much organization as it appears to be in Montreal. I'm not even sure on the lines between advertising and art, because I'm sure there are more strict laws about painting an ad vs. painting art for monetization considerations.
