CCC's Street Art Contest #37 : Ruben Carrasco, Montreal

avatar

Here my entry for this week edition of the CCC's Street Art Contest with a beautiful mural done by Ruben Carrasco :

210 - Ruben Carrasco sur Prince Arthur.jpg

Ruben Carrasco is an artist from Mexico. As many artist (and everybody), he began to paint when he was a kid. But at 15, he decided to sell his work in the street. He studied at the Visual Arts Institute in Mexico but didn't finish the program. Some years later, he finished his studies at the Anahuac University in Cancun and after at McGill University and Dawson College in Montreal. So it's why we have some of his murals here 👍.

He's also tattoo artist, set designer working in theaters, photographer, graphic designer... He's the founder the international artists collective 5 Wolves No Pigs and co-founder the art festivals IPAF (International Art Festival). Impressive !

Very beautiful work in the shamanic universe of Ruben Carrasco. This mural is on the wall of the O'Noir Restaurant, where you eat in complete darkness (I tryed few years ago, very good food but I prefer to see my food 😀).

You can see on the last picutre a paste-up done by Stikki Peaches with a portrait of yound Dali, a little torn now, it was done in 2008 (more about if Street Art #078). In the middle of the paste-up, a work done by MakeNoize with his smileys (more about this artist Street Art #272 - my first post on Hive).

Interesting interview about Ruben on Artistikrezo.com but only in French...
