I'm linking up at Monday Mural
August 2025 - Montreal QC
A small collection (3) of murals we found in Montreal.
Chinatown
The artwork, a collaborative effort by two local artists of Asian descent — Bryan Beyung and Gene Pendon — is titled “May an Old Song Open a New World.”
Produced by the MU, a charitable non-profit organization whose mandate is to “transform Montreal’s public spaces by creating murals that are rooted in local communities,” the painting features the image of a Chinese female opera singer against a bright red background.“The central figure is a female singer for the Beijing Opera, and we took different examples of female performers and created a new one,” Pendon explained.
Maxilie Martel, aka Mono Sourcil, is a young multidisciplinary mural artist born in Montreal in 1989.
