Hest is one of this city’s top graffiti writers. The gallery below features mostly the work he did since his return to the city in 2017, plus a few collaboration walls from the early 2000s that were still around circa 2014-2015 when I started documenting urban art. The latter walls were already aged and slightly damaged at the time I took my shots, but still in good enough condition to show here for documenting purposes.

To see lots more by this artist than I was lucky to find, particularly the work he did in many places around the world, have a look at his Instagram account. To see the artist in action, have a look at this Youtube video for Graff TV.

Hest est sans contredit l’un des top graffeurs de Montréal. La galerie ci-dessous présente principalement le travail qu’il a réalisé depuis son retour chez nous en 2017, ainsi que quelques collaborations datant du début des années 2000 qui existaient encore vers 2014-2015 lorsque j’ai commencé à documenter l’art urbain. Ces derniers murs étaient déjà vieux et légèrement endommagés au moment où j’ai pris mes photos, mais toujours en assez bon état pour être montrés ici à des fins de documentation.

Pour voir beaucoup plus de cet artiste que ce que j’ai eu la chance de trouver, en particulier le travail qu’il a fait dans de nombreux endroits à travers le monde, jetez un oeil à son compte Instagram. Pour voir l’artiste en action, jetez un oeil à cette video pour Graff TV.
