Street Art #270 Tchekon & Shok, Montreal

in StreetArt5 years ago

During a walk last fall, I discovered at the corner of an alley a stunning set of murals, a little old but still in good condition (pretty rare it's generally ephemeral).

I didn't find the names of the artists for each mural, only Tchekon and Shok.

Tchekon

Vania Tchekoff aka Tchekon is a French artist based based in Bordeaux (France) and Montréal (Canada). His style is very geometric with lines and abstract forms.

I'm not sure if he's still active in Montreal now. I didn't see other works done by him and the last post on his blog was in 2017. Too bad... In 2018, I took this picture of his mural about climate change (very degraded today) :

Tchekon (rue MarieAnne)

While doing research on this artist, I saw an article about his exhibition made in Montreal in 2017... I really like, very simple but effective... Some pics from his blog :

Yeah great mural and it's cool they're in pretty good shape despite all these years.
