Labrona

Labrona is one of the big names of Montreal’s street art scene. He is often commissionned for murals and other painted work (even outside Montreal) but, as seen in the photo gallery below, he is also quite active unofficially. For much more on the artist than what is shown here (particularly for his non-street work), check out labrona.net as well as his Instagram page.

Labrona est un des grands de la scène montréalaise de street art. Il est souvent embauché pour effectuer des murales et autres oeuvres peintes (même hors de Montréal) mais, tel que vu dans la galerie ci-dessous, une grande part de son oeuvre n’est pas officielle. Pour en voir beaucoup plus que ce qui est présenté ici, jetez un coup d’oeil à labrona.net ainsi qu’à sa page Instagram.
