L’ART AU-DELÀ DES MURS
In 2023, MURAL Festival and the City of Montreal proudly unveiled an unforgettable urban mural painted on grass at the foot of Mount Royal. The monumental piece was created by French artist SAYPE, a pioneer of integrating art into natural landscapes. It was part of the artist’s ‘Beyond Walls’ series, a project that traveled the world from 2019 with this MTL masterpiece as the grand finale.
SAYPE produced the work in one week, in a strategic location offering panoramic views. Made with completely biodegradable paint, it naturally disappeared over time. The piece was based on the premise that the world is polarizing. And while some may choose to isolate themselves, SAYPE is “deeply convinced that it is together that humanity can meet the various challenges it must overcome.” The artist is undoubtedly supporting this mission, one unifying mural at a time.
