Here is my entry for this week's edition of the CCC's Street Art Contest #124 with this beautiful mural done by Benny Wilding with the help of HSix on Mont-Royal Avenue next to the metro of the same name. I thought I had already talked about this work because it' s rather old and I often pass by it. But I can't find it in my old posts. So I'm taking advantage of the contest hosted by @digi-me to present it to you.
Voici mon entrée pour l'édition de cette semaine du CCC's Street Art Contest #124 avec cette magnifique murale faite par Benny Wilding avec l'aide de HSix sur l'avenue Mont-Royal à côté du métro du même nom. Je pensais avoir déjà parlé de cette œuvre car elle est plutôt ancienne et j'y passe souvent devant. Mais je ne la retrouve pas dans mes anciens posts. Alors je profite du concours organisé par @digi-me pour vous la présenter.
I first took a picture of it this summer because there were no cars in front of it, only a bike-share station. And when I got home, I noticed that I hadn't featured it on Hive yet despite the many posts written on Benny Wilding. So I went back a few days later to take a few more pictures.
Je l'ai prise une première fois en photo cet été car il n'y avait aucune voiture devant, seulement une station de vélos en libre service. Et en arrivant chez moi, j'ai remarqué que je ne l'avais pas encore présenté sur Hive malgré les nombreux posts écrits sur Benny Wilding. Alors j'y suis retourné quelques jours plus tard pour prendre un peu plus de photos.

Benny Wilding & HSix
As he is a very active artist in Montreal, this isn't the first post about him in my StreetArt series. The biography is known 😀. Benny Wilding (also Cemz or Ether) discovered Street Art during a trip to New York at the age of 12 in the mid-90s, admiring the New York graffiti. He came back to Montreal to devote himself to it. Often, his style combines Pop Art and very worked letters.
Comme c'est un artiste assez actif sur Montréal, ce n'est pas le premier post de ma série StreetArt. La biographie est connue 😀 . Benny Wilding (également Cemz ou Ether) a découvert le Street Art lors d'un voyage à New York à l'âge de 12 ans au milieu des années 90, admiratif devant les graffitis new-yorkais. Il est revenu à Montréal pour s'y consacrer . Souvent, son style combine Pop Art et lettres très travaillées.
This mural was made in 2015 with so many elements that you would think it was made by several artists. But not, only 2, HSix realized the 3 faces of Gilles Duceppe and Benny Wilding, created the rest with all these elements and Pop characters.
Cette murale a été réalisée en 2015 avec tellement d'éléments qu'on pourrait croire qu'elle a été réalisé par plusieurs artistes. Mais non, seulement 2, HSix a réalisé les 3 visages de Gilles Duceppe et Benny Wilding, a créé le reste avec tous ces éléments et personnages Pop.
I like the mix of Pop characters, the monorail and the figure of a politician, Gilles Duceppe, a Quebec politician advocating Quebec independence. We find him 3 times with 3 different postures made by Hsix, artist also based in Montreal.
J'aime bien le mélange de personnages Pop, du monorail et de la figure d'un homme politique, Gilles Duceppe, homme politique québécois prônant l'indépendance du Québec. On le retrouve 3 fois avec 3 postures différentes réalisés par Hsix, artiste aussi basé à Montréal.
HSix started Street Art at the age of 14. Now his art turns to more artistic murals, especially commissions of historical figures thanks to their hyper realistic representation mixed with a background composed of geometric shapes. HSix is a member of the famous international crew 156 All Starz (all started on 156th street and Broadway in New York).
HSix a commencé le Street Art vers 14 ans. Maintenant son art se tourne vers des murales artistiques, surtout des commandes de personnages historiques grâce à leur représentation hyper réaliste mélangé avec un fond composé de formes géométriques. HSix est membre du célèbre collectif internationale 156 All Starz (ce collectif a commencé sur la 156e rue et Broadway à New York).
