Since many years the two muralists JASMIN GUÉRARD ALIE and SIMON BACHAND are colourfully decorating the streets of Montréal. Together they form the artist duo called ART DU COMMUN and create fantastic artworks often with a special meaning to the neighbourhood and to the history of the place. In their murals the two artists combine in an interersting way history with modern art and urbanism, as well they usually involve other artists. Besides the art stuff, they are connectors and supporters of the communities, they do projects with locals and they make memorial murals to preserve the past for the future. Especially around Rue Notre Dame in the district Lacine you can find a great series of their creations.
The artists about themselves on their website: Since 2006, the Montreal-born art collective, Art du Commun, has been uniting professional artists with over 16 years of experience with murals. Using innovative techniques and a bold sense of imagination, we are constantly searching for new and unique ways to approach each creation. Our pieces are designed to integrate into their environments while respecting, incorporating, and enriching the existing architecture. Artducommun’s creative process takes into consideration the history and experience of a work’s location. The positioning of each mural thus creates a space for social interaction, while offering passersby a original and timeless visual experience. – Art du Commun
Here we have a collection of artworks from ART DU COMMUN throughout Montréal, photographed and documented with interesting stories and background information by Patrice Loranger.
