October 2020 - Toronto ON
I gave you a teaser about these murals last week.
Evergreen Brick Works and Friends of Pan Am Path led a project to have murals painted on Bridge 81 concrete pillars on a disused rail bridge.THE PULL OF THE LAND, TORONTO, 2013 by faith47 XLVII
Liberty Du, who is widely recognized as Faith XLVII, is a South African Multi-Disciplinary Artist.
Her journey into art began on the streets of South Africa in 1979, as a young graffiti writer taking on the name Faith47 (the number being a reference to her grandmothers numerological theorem). In 2006, Liberty began on a nomadic journey which has brought her to create works in 39 countries and, in 2017, saw her relocating to Los Angeles, USA.
Japanese artist Hiroyasu Tsuri has done that a massive mural below the historic rail bridge featuring a large snake and plants native to the area.

So many wonderful murals!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is clever, too.
...these are special, the first one is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteI love the one with the flowers, birds and bees, but the top one from Liberty Du is just stunning. She is a great artist, the animals are just so real. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Jackie.
Love the animals in the first one! :)
