PUTTING A MTL CAR WASH ON THE MAP
For MURAL Festival’s 2019 flagship project, Guatemalan-American street artist Joshua Vides transformed a classic Montreal car wash and a Mercedes Benz A-Class into a bold art installation entitled ‘Le Lave-Auto.’ The art project is a continuation of Vides’ interactive show Reality to Ideas, for which he had fun transforming 3D objects to create cartoon-style 2D illusions in black and white.
Uniquely transformed, Lave-Auto Laurier has not only become a permanent art installation (while remaining in operation as a car wash), but is now an iconic new landmark in Montreal.
