CANADA: Urban Artist JADE BILODEAU – Geometrical Patterns in the Beauty of Nature

The Canadian artist JADE BILODEAU from Montréal deals with geometric symmetry and at the same time with those forms found in nature. Her motifs often show plants, flowers or animals, but these are abstracted in graphic styles. Especially blossoms and the representation of their structure can often be found.  She was and is very active in Montréal, but meanwhile also in other places around the world. We spoke to the creative artist in an interview about her art, how she started and where she wants to go.

CANADA: Streetart Montréal – Sault au Récollet – Pont Papineau Leblanc Graffiti Bridge

On the east side of the Papineau Leblanc Bridge in Montréal’s Sault-au-Récollet neighborhood is a legal graffiti wall, which is filled with great works. Opened in 1969, the bridge was one of the first cable-stayed bridges in North America and is part of the Quebec Autoroute 19, which connects Laval and Montréal across the Rivière des Prairies river. The entire Sault-au-Récollet district was declared a heritage site by the City of Montréal in 1992 and is well worth a visit. Check out the graffiti collection from the open spray spot at the bridge wall.
