Kevin Ledo

Kevin Ledo is more active in the studio than he is in the streets of Montreal. However, the quality and size of his murals in this city makes up for the small number of pieces offered. He has also become one of Montreal’s street art ambassadors by producing murals all over the world. You can view these other murals as well as his studio work at Ledo’s personal webpage and his Instagram and Facebook pages.

Kevin Ledo produit plus en studio que sur les murs de Montreal, mais la qualité et la taille des murales qu’il a produites ici compensent largement pour leur faible nombre. Il est un ambassadeur de Montréal sur la scène internationale du street art, ayant produit des murales un peu partout autour de la planète. Ces dernières ainsi que son travail en studio peuvent être vus sur son site web personnel ainsi que ses pages Instagram et Facebook.


Murals and other pieces below are shown in approximate reverse chronological order, so the most recent are at the top.

De Rouen legal graffiti tunnel

The tunnel on de Rouen street, near the Préfontaine metro station in Hochelaga, is one of Montreal’s few legal graffiti walls. Most of the city’s writers and many of its artists have done something there at one time or another. The fact that most of the walls are in a tunnel makes it possible for artists to work in almost any weather condition. From the first days of spring to the last days of autumn there is almost always someone at work in there. During events such as the Jam de Rouen there actually can be up to 20 people working side by side. It’s no surprise then that pieces there don’t have a very long lifespan, from a few hours for the most amateur to a few weeks, sometimes more, for the most respected writers (longer for the pieces done in the higher reaches of the walls or during winter). This means that fans of graffiti who visit this open-air gallery every week or two are treated to a whole new exhibit each time.

Because the amount of works photographed at this legal wall, I have broken down the galleries in sections, over 2 years. See:
August-December 2014
January-June 2015
July-December 2015
January-June 2016

Help with the identification of some of the more obscure artists featured in these image galleries is welcome.

Le tunnel de la rue de Rouen près de la station de métro Préfontaine dans Hochelaga est un des quelques murs légaux de Montréal. La majorité des graffeurs montréalais ainsi que plusieurs autres artistes y ont laissé leur marque au cours des années. Puisque les murs sont sous tunnel, il est possible d’y travailler peu importe les conditions météo. On y trouve presque toujours un ou des artistes à l’oeuvre, des premiers jours du printemps jusqu’à la fin de l’automne (et même plus). En fait, pendant la tenue d’événements tels que le Jam de Rouen, on peut y trouver jusqu’à 20 graffeurs à l’oeuvre côte-à-côte. Les oeuvres n’ont conséquemment pas une durée de vie très longue au tunnel de Rouen, de quelques heures pour les créations d’amateurs à quelques semaines et même plus pour celles de graffeurs plus connus et respectés (encore plus longtemps pour les pièces faites en hauteur ou en hiver). Ceci veut dire que l’exposition offerte dans cette galerie publique se renouvelle constamment et peut être revisitée à toutes les semaines ou deux.

A cause de la quantité d’oeuvres photographiées à ce mur légal, j’ai divisé les galleries en sections s’échelonnant sur deux années complètes. Voir:
août-décembre 2014
janvier-juin 2015
juillet-décembre 2015

ROC514

ROC514 is mostly recognised for a cute round bird which can be found pasted all over Montreal. This bird has been seen in a variety of colours and patterns. The bigger varieties are usually made of pasted paper while the smaller ones come as stickers. Some have also been found painted and drawn. The artist often collaborates with other street artists and graffiti writers, a section of the photo gallery below features these collaborations.

ROC514 left Montreal for BC in 2017, but many specimens of her work are still found in the streets and alleys of Montreal. I expect she will keep a presence in our city through visits as well as the collaboration of many artists/friends who will put up her stickers. She did keep the ‘514’ in her name after all!

For more on ROC514, have a look at her Facebook and Instagram pages. You can buy ROC514 art and sticker packs at Storenvy.

ROC514 est surtout connue pour un petit oiseau dodu collé un peu partout dans plusieurs quartiers de Montréal. L’oiseau en question existe en de nombreuses couleurs et textures. Les plus grands spécimens sont sous forme de collages tandis que les plus petits se trouvent sous forme d’autocollants. Des spécimens ont aussi été aperçus peints ou dessinés. L’artiste aime aussi collaborer avec d’autres artistes et graffeurs, une section de la galerie-photo ci-dessous présente le fruit de ces collaborations.

ROC514 a quitté Montréal en 2017 lorsqu’elle est déménagée en Colombie Britannique, mais de nombreux specimens de sa création sont toujours présents dans nos rues et ruelles. On peut s’attendre à une présence maintenue via des visites régulières et la collaboration d’artistes et d’amis d’ici qui continueront à distribuer ses autocollants. Elle a tout de même conservé le ‘514’ dans son nom après tout!

Pour en voir plus par ROC514, voir ses pages Facebook et Instagram. Il est possible d’acheter des créations de ROC514 via Storenvy.

G.Knight

There isn’t much information on the internet about G.Knight’s (formerly known as Graffiti Knight) street work. His personal and Facebook pages feature almost exclusively his studio work. His Instagram page was the only online site where a significant quantity of his street work could be viewed, but the artist stopped being active in the streets after 2015.

The artist’s favourite media on the streets during his active years were essentially wheatpastes, stickers and stencil. As far as I know he has never done any murals nor smaller painted pieces, other than his Darth Vader stencils.

Il est relativement difficile de trouver le street art de G.Knight (anciennement Graffiti Knight) sur l’internet. Ses pages personnelle et Facebook présentent presque exclusivement son travail de studio. Sa page Instagram était le seul endroit où une quantité significative de son oeuvre publique pouvait être vue, mais l’artiste a arrêté d’être actif dans la rue après 2015.

Pendant sa période active l’artiste semblait préférer les oeuvres collées, que ce soit sous forme de wheatpastes et stickers, ainsi que les stencils. Au meilleur de ma connaissance, il n’est l’auteur d’aucune murale ou oeuvre peinte majeure.

the Darth Vader series

Over the summer of 2014 about 30 stencilled Darth Vader heads appeared here and there on the sidewalks and alley entrances in the Plateau and Mile End. Each head was done in a different colour scheme, enticing some people to play ‘collect them all’ and photograph each one they encountered. Some pieces were signed “Enjoy G Knight”, others not. Coincidence or not, most heads were done at the entrance of alleys where street art could be found, as if the pop culture villain was posted there to protect the contents within. Wheatpastes featuring the same design also appeared on the walls of Plateau End and Mile End at about the same time.

Une trentaine de pochoirs de la tête de Darth Vader sont apparus sur les trottoirs et entrées de ruelle du Plateau et de Mile End au cours de l’été 2014. Chaque tête a été produite avec une combinaison de couleurs différentes, poussant certains amateurs de street art à les collectionner en photo. Certaines de ces pièces étaient signées “Enjoy G Knight”, d’autres non. Ceci pourrait être une coincidence, mais l’artiste semble avoir privilégié des emplacements au sol menant à des endroits où se trouve une quantité intéressante d’art public, comme si le méchant héros y était posté pour garder ce qui se trouvait à proximité. Des affiches collées présentant la même tête de Darth Vader sont apparues sur les murs du même quartier à peu près au même moment.

G.Knight stencils

In June 2015 G.Knight (formerly known as Graffiti Knight) stencilled his recently shortened moniker on the walls, streets and sidewalks of the Plateau and Mile End. A few examples are shown below, but there are many others to be found.

En juin 2015, G.Knight (anciennement Graffiti Knight) a imprimé au pochoir son nom récemment raccourci sur les murs, trottoirs et rues du Plateau et de Mile End. Quatre exemples sont présentés ci-dessous, mais il y a en a plusieurs dizaines d’autres.

New street art November-December 2014

Winter has arrived early so there isn’t much painted work to be shown in this ‘new works’ installment, but artists have still been busy pasting and slapping (some much more than others!).

L’hiver est arrivé tôt, ce qui signifie qu’il y a très peu d’oeuvres peintes à présenter dans cet article consacré aux nouveautés récentes. Par contre, les oeuvres collées y figurent en grand nombre.

Omnipac building

The Omnipac building, the structure at the corner of Van Horne and Parc, was demolished at the end of 2014 after having been left abandoned for many years. There were plans to turn it into an office building, but it appears those plans were scrapped as the lot is still empty many years after demolition.

After it was closed a long time ago, the 4-storey (plus basement and rooftop) building became the playground of graffiti writers. Fences were put up around it, but getting inside was never really difficult. Hence, over the years, Montreal graffiti artists have left their marks on its walls and columns.

A selection of pieces from the building’s last five years can be viewed in the gallery below, but hundreds more can be found through Google/Images with keywords ‘Omnipac’ and ‘graffiti’.

Vers la fin de 2014 l’Omnipac, l’édifice situé au coin de la rue Van Horne et de l’avenue du Parc, a été démoli après avoir été laissé à l’abandon pendant plusieurs années. L’édifice devait être rénové pour en faire des bureaux, mais ces plans ont dus être abandonnés puisqu’il a complètement été démoli à la fin de l’automne 2014 et le site est toujours vacant plusieurs années plus tard.

Après sa fermeture, les quatre étages (plus le sous-sol et le toit) de l’Omnipac sont rapidement devenus le terrain de jeu des graffeurs. Des clotures ont été érigées tout autour de l’édifice pour en décourager l’accès, mais ceci n’a jamais arrêté les graffeurs de Montréal d’y laisser leur marque sur les murs et colonnes de béton.

Une sélection de pièces produites au cours des cinq dernières années de l’édifice est présentée dans la gallerie-photo ci-dessous, mais des centaines peuvent être trouvées via Google/Images avec les mots-clés ‘Omnipac’ et ‘graffiti’.

Turtle Caps

New York City expat QBNYC is better known in Montreal as Turtle Caps, which is the name of his main creation. It is basically impossible to have walked the streets of this city and never to have noticed Turtle Caps (the creature), a very recognizable 2-legged turtle shell with a spraycan cap as a head. Even though the artist has now returned to New York, Turtle Caps the creature can still be found on stickers and wheatpastes, and spray-painted on many walls around the city.

The contribution of Turtle Caps (the artist) to the Montreal street art scene extends beyond his artistic work, as he has been instrumental in bringing artists from various spheres to work together in the context of events which he organised or curated. He put together the Cabane à sucre secret gallery which had almost 50 of the best Montreal artists – some street, some not – work side by side. He also curated the Montreal installment of the Boundless Brooklyn tour which brought together 20 graffiti writers and street artists from Montreal with 20 from New York City.

For more information, see turtlecaps.com as well as his Facebook page. For more photos of his art than is displayed here, check out his Instagram page.

L’artiste new-yorkais QBNYC est plutôt connu à Montréal sous le patronyme Turtle Caps, qui est en fait celui de sa plus populaire création, une carapace de tortue sur deux pattes, avec le cap d’une bombe aérosol en lieu de tête. Il est pratiquement impossible de n’avoir jamais remarqué Turtle Caps (la créature) dans les rues de Montréal. Bien que l’artiste soit retourné vivre à New York, Turtle Caps la création est toujours présente sur plusieurs stickers et collages, et peinte sur plusieurs murs.

L’impact de Turtle Caps (l’artiste) sur la scène montréalaise du street art s’étend au-delà de sa simple contribution artistique. Il a été impliqué à divers niveaux dans un certain nombre d’événements qui ont mené des artistes de sphères différentes à travailler ensemble. Il est celui qui a mis sur pied la gallerie secrète Cabane à sucre où la crème des artistes street de Montréal a travaillé côte à côte avec des artistes du circuit des galleries. Il a aussi été derrière le volet montréalais de la tournée Boundless Brooklyn qui a mené à une exposition réunissant 20 artistes montréalais avec 20 originaires de New York.
