This image gallery brings together 100 pieces of Montreal street art from 2018 that were created in a studio, then pasted, glued, screwed in or cemented into a public place. It is not necessarily the best of the year because taste is a subjective thing and I was obviously not able to photograph everything. The selection was done partly from my own personal favourites but mostly from those of my followers on Instagram. Of course this list was put together from what I was actually able to photograph, so keep in mind that it may lack some great work that just slipped between the cracks.

The pieces are shown here in alphabetical order of artist name. To ensure that the list wasn’t filled with only work from a few popular artists, I have set a maximum of 4 pieces per person. Collaborations by two or more artists count as one entry.

Cette galerie-photo présente 100 pièces de street art produites en 2018 à Montréal, créées en studio avant d’être collées, vissées ou fixées dans le ciment dans un endroit public. Cette liste n’a pas la prétention d’être un best of de l’année puisque les goûts sont personnels et je n’ai évidemment pas eu la chance de tout photographier. La sélection s’est faite en partie parmi mes pièces favorites, mais surtout parmi les préférées de mes abonnés Instagram. Cette liste a bien sur été créée à partir de ce que j’ai eu la chance de trouver et de photographier, ce qui signifie que quelques chef d’oeuvres de 2018 pourraient ne pas y figurer.

Les pièces apparaissent ci-dessous en ordre alphabétique de nom d’artiste. Pour que cette liste ne soit pas totalement accaparée par quelques artistes populaires, j’ai fixé un maximum de 4 pièces par personne. Les collaborations entre deux ou plusieurs artistes ne comptent que pour une entrée.

I never single out a piece in my yearly retrospectives, but this huge tribute to Scaner deserves a special mention. As far as I know, nothing of this scale has been done ever before. The piece is the creation of Scaner’s KG crewmates Zek (who wrote the letter outlines) and Stare, it features characters by Harry Bones and Axe Lalime, and is filled with pieces by nearly 100 local and international artists. A special post is dedicated solely to this historical creation, check it out here. Zek, Stare and Axe all have solo pieces in this list, scroll down to see them. Zek and Axe are also featured in the Retrospective of 2018 murals and other painted street art.

Money is currently being raised to fund a commemorative mural in honour of Alex Scaner aka SCAN who passed away last year following a long battle with cancer. The huge 7250 square foot mural will be visible from one of MTL’s busiest highways. All 30 artists involved will be contributing their time for free, but $10 000 are needed to help finance the rental of aerial work platforms, scaffolding, safety equipment as well as for paint and transportation for artists.

If you are a regular at wall2wallMTL.com, Scaner needs no introduction. He has helped define the MTL graffiti and urban art scenes and his influence and respect extends way beyond the limits of our city. He was also known and loved for his great generosity and now the community has decided to return the love and honour the memory of its lost brother.

Une collecte de fonds est présentement en cours dans le but de financer une murale commémorative en l’honneur d’Alex Scaner / SCAN qui est décédé l’an dernier suite à une longue bataille avec le cancer. L’énorme murale de 7250 pieds carrés sera visible du nouvel échangeur Turcot, une des routes les plus achalandées de MTL. Les 30 artistes impliqués dans le project contribueront leur temps gratuitement, mais $10 000 sont nécessaires pour la réalisation du projet, en l’occurrence la location de plate-formes mobiles, des échafaudages, des équipements de sécurité ainsi que pour la peinture et le transports d’artistes.

Si vous êtes un régulier de Montréal Mur à Mur, Scaner n’a pas besoin d’introduction. Il a fortement contribué à définir la scène montréalaise du graff et de l’art urbain et son influence et le respect qu’il génère dépassent largement les bornes de notre ville. Il était aussi connu et aimé pour sa grande générosité et maintenant c’est au tour de la communauté de lui retourner son amour en honorant la mémoire de son frère perdu.
