Street Art #663 Gavlois & Guille, Montreal
Back to this year's edition of the Mural Festival, which took place in June in Montreal. It's not an official wall, but many artists gravitate around it to showcase their talent. So Le Gavlois and Guille were invited to paint the wall formerly occupied by MonoSourcil. A complete change of style...
Retour à l'édition de cette année du Mural Festival qui s'est déroulée au mois de juin à Montréal, il ne s'agit pas d'un mur officiel mais de nombreux artistes gravitent autour pour exposer leur talent. Ainsi Le Gavlois et Guille ont été invités à peindre le mur anciennement occupé par MonoSourcil. On change complètement de style...
On the right is the old mural done by MonoSourcil with its characteristic single-browed characters, then Le Gavlois and his abstract work with a portrait at its center. And completely to the right Guille.
Sur la droite, on retrouve l'ancienne murale de MonoSourcil avec ses personnages caractéristiques à un seul sourcil puis Le Gavlois et son œuvre abstraite avec un portrait en son centre. Et complétement à droite Guille.
WHERE
In the TD Bank parking lot on Saint Laurent Boulevard in Montreal.

Just a reminder MonoSourcil had painted this mural for the 2017 edition of the Mural Festival (see StreetArt #064, I believe my first post on this artist).
Juste pour rappel MonoSourcil avait peint cette murale pour l'édition de 2017 du Mural Festival (voir StreetArt #064, je crois mon premier post sur cette artiste).
WHO
Guille
Guille is a Spanish-born painter and muralist. He created this work as if classical painting met abstract art. The portrait in the center looks like a Bronzino 🤔 or an artist of the same period, then everything is deconstructed. Really interesting...
Guille est un peintre et muraliste d'origine espagnol. Il a réalisé cette œuvre comme si la peinture classique rencontrait l'art abstrait. Le portrait au centre ressemble à un Bronzino ou d'un artiste de la même époque, puis tout est déconstruit. Vraiment intéressant...
Gavlois
Montreal-based French artist Gavlois, a member of the duo MadRats, created the background as usual, using abstract blue and pink colors. However, I think this is the first time I've seen a portrait in the middle of one of his murals. It's been named Semper Eadem, perhaps in homage to the poem of the same name by Charles Baudelaire, or simply from the Latin expression always the same thing, the motto of English Queen Elizabeth I.
Gavlois, artiste français installé à Montréal et membre du duo MadRats a réalisé le fond comme à son habitude avec de l'abstraction dans des couleurs bleues et roses. Par contre, je crois que c'est la première fois que je vois un portrait au milieu d'une de murales. Elle a été nommée Semper Eadem, peut-être hommage au poème du même nom de Charles Baudelaire, ou simplement de l'expression latine toujours la même chose, le motto de la reine anglaise Elizabeth I.
Just because a poem by Baudelaire is always beautiful:
"Whence comes to you, you asked, this singular sadness
That rises like the sea on the naked, black rock?"
— Once our heart has gathered the grapes from its vineyard,
Living is an evil. That's a secret known to all..."
Juste parce qu'un poème de Baudelaire c'est toujours beau :
" D'où vous vient, disiez-vous, cette tristesse étrange,
Montant comme la mer sur le roc noir et nu ? "
Quand notre cœur a fait une fois sa vendange,
Vivre est un mal. C'est un secret de tous connu..."

Also during the festival, Gavlois created this work for the advertising agency Hulahoop during an evening of music and art. Great job...
Et aussi pendant le festival, Gavlois avait réalisé cette œuvre pour l'agence de publicité Hulahoop pendant une soirée avec musique et art.

Nice finds, not my favourite works but still great to se 😉 interesting to see how he deconstructed things around the classical painting 🖼️
Have a wonderful Friday 👋🏻
Yes, it's a style you've got to like especially by Le Gavlois.
Have a lovely Friday too... I hope you're feeling better.
It does…
Thank you, improving but still feeling very rough 😞
Have a great weekend 🌹🐝
The second artwork needs to be studied
There were so many faces there. That’s an amazing one!
You saw faces, it's too abstract for me to see anything 😀
Have a great day
Gavlois is great lettering and a great portrait. I like the last bit by Gavlois also.
Yep interesting abstract works with Le Gavlois.
Enjoy your day
