Top 10 graffiti

Unlike other categories in this Top 100, this one does not strictly feature my ultimate faves of the year. A lot of the graffiti I love I never had a chance to photograph before it disappeared. I also decided not to include in this list graffiti featured in the context of the Under Pressure festival because then the top 10 would almost just be filled with that. So here’s the top 10 one-off Montreal graffiti that I was able to photograph.

Contrairement aux autres catégories de ce Top 100, celle-ci n’inclut pas nécessairement mes graffitis préférés de l’année. Je n’ai pas eu la chance de photographier toutes les pièces que j’aime avant qu’elles ne disparaissent. J’ai aussi décidé de ne pas inclure dans cette liste les graffitis produits dans le contexte du festival Under Pressure parce que ceux-ci se seraient presque accaparé le top 10 au complet. En conséquence, voici donc le top 10 des graffitis uniques que j’ai eu la chance de photographier.

I must apologize for the lack of posts in the past 3 weeks. I was on vacation in South East Asia and took a near-complete break from the internet. Whilst away I did not expect to find material related to street art in Montreal, but it turns out I was wrong. One of the first graffiti pieces I found in Bali was the one shown below by Montreal’s own Pask and Mistx. It was done in 2009 in the South East area of Ubud, the artistic capital of the island.

Bali was developed by refugee priests and artists, which would explain the incredible amount of temples and art found everywhere on the island. There are temples on every street and each one is decorated with dozens of sculptures and paintings. Amid all this traditional religious art I was on the lookout for urban art (an inbuilt reflex in me), which I found mostly in the form of graffiti. Stencils, paste-ups and stickers were very limitedly found in the more urban areas and murals were rather rare (with the exception of advertisements painted on side-walls of businesses).

The only other Montreal-related material I found were a few stickers (in central Ubud) by French artist Zdey S1tr who has been active in Montreal lately.

Je suis désolé de mon silence depuis 3 semaines, j’étais en vacances en Asie du sud-est. Je ne m’attendais pas à y trouver du matérial pertinent pour ce blogue, mais il semble que je me sois trompé. J’ai eu la surprise de découvrir en périphérie d’Ubud, la capitale artistique de Bali, une pièce créée en 2009 par les graffeurs montréalais Pask et Mistx.

Bali a été développée par des prêtres et artistes qui y ont trouvé refuge quand l’ile voisine de Java a été conquise. Ceci explique surement l’abondance de temples et d’art qu’on y trouve. Il y a au moins un temple sur chaque rue, et chacun est décoré de nombreuses sculptures et peintures. Au milieu de tout cet art religieux traditionnel mon oeil averti y a cherché de l’art urbain (déformation professionnelle), que j’ai trouvé principalement sous la forme de graffitis. Je n’ai pas vraiment découvert de grandes murales, sauf pour quelques pubs sur des murs latéraux de commerces. Dans les centres plus urbains j’ai réussi à dénicher quelques pochoirs et autocollants.

Je n’ai rien découvert d’autre pour Wall2wallMTL si ce n’est que quelques autocollants (au coeur d’Ubud) de l’artiste français Zdey S1tr qui a été actif à Montréal dernièrement.
