As I've been showing you Montreal's Street Art for some time now without showing you anything else of the city. I'll try now to share some pictures of the neighborhood where the mural is located. It's a start... The mural is located just behind this row of houses. It is a quiet neighborhood as you can see on this photo in early spring, just across from Baldwin Park.

Comme je vous fais découvrir le Street Art de Montréal depuis quelques temps déjà sans vous montrer autre chose de la ville. Je vais essayer maintenant aussi de partager quelques photos du quartier ou se trouve la murale. C'est un début... La murale se trouve juste derrière cette rangée de maisons .Il s'agit d'un quartier assez tranquille comme vous pouvez le constater sur cette photo en ce début printemps, juste en face du parc Baldwin.

Five Eight

FiveEight is also a Montreal based artist. He has been painting since 2002 with a very particular style made of geometrical figures with bright colors, a bit like neon lights. He is a member of the collective En Masse. Now he's doing more canvases as well as experimenting with neon works.

FiveEight est aussi un artiste basé sur Montréal. Il peint depuis 2002 avec un style bien particulier fait de figures géométriques aux couleurs vives, un peu comme des néons. Il est membre du collectif En Masse. Maintenant il réalise plus souvent des toiles en plus d'expérimenter avec des oeuvres composées de néons.

This isn't the first post about this artist. I notice that I often use his murals to enter the contest / FR : Ce n'est pas le premier post sur cet artiste. Je remarque que j'utilise souvent ses murales pour participer au concours organisé par @digi-me :

Relativity

This mural created in 2015 is called Relativity. On this brick wall of 23 meters by 11, FiveEight paid tribute to the feat achieved by Felix Baumgartner who made the highest freefall jump at an altitude of 39.376 meters. It was in 2012... I would never have said that it was already more than 10 years ago. In my head it's juste there 😀.

Cette murale réalisée en 2015 s'appelle Relativity. Sur ce mur de briques de 23 mètres par 11, FiveEight a rendu hommage à l'exploit réalisé par Félix Baumgartner qui fait le plus haut saut en chute libre en s'élançant dans le vide à une altitude de 39,376 mètres. C'était en 2012... je n'aurai jamais dit que cela fut réalisé il y a déjà plus de 10 ans. Dans ma tête c'est tout frais 😀.

My son actually flew out of Montreal to go to Miami. Better prices, direct flight and less than 2 hours from Burlington.

Oh yeah with the exchange rate... because the price of tickets are increasing these days. I want to go to Miami soon, maybe at the end of June.
