Street Art #593 Waxhead, Montreal

avatar

I had a folder on my computer with all the works done by Waxhead that I was saving to complete an article on a larger mural. But I've been saving these pictures for a while, it's time to share them to show you all the talent and imagination of this artist.

J'avais un répertoire sur mon ordinateur avec des œuvres faites par Waxhead que je gardais de côté pour compléter un article sur une murale plus importante. Mais cela fait un peu longtemps que je garde ces photos, il est temps de les partager pour vous montrer tout le talent et l'imagination de cet artiste.

This is not my first post about this artist. But it's been a long time since I've talked about him so here's a short biography. Waxhead is a Toronto based artist who has been active for almost a decade now. He moved to Montreal in 2012 to continue to develop his distinct style in the streets of the city but also in his studio, he now makes many paintings and sculptures.

Waxhead uses several mediums to create his works, including pieces of wood like this snake and head. / FR : Waxhead utilise plusieurs médiums pour réaliser ses œuvres, y compris des morceaux de bois comme pour réaliser ce serpent et cette tête.

That's a lot, isn't it? I finished this post with two last pieces including my favorite of the series which highlighted how well the Canadiens (Montreal NHL team) did during the Series in 2021. That won't be the case this year as the team doesn't even qualify for the Playoffs* 😥.

Cela fait beaucoup, non ? Allez deux dernières oeuvres dont ma préférée de la série qui soulignait le bon parcours des Canadiens (équipe NHL de Montréal) pendant les Series en 2021. Cela ne sera pas le cas cette année, car l'équipe n'est même pas qualifiée pour les Playoffs 😥.

The wooden works are pretty cool... it's strange that nobody took them, there are still on the streets. Enjoy your day.

Really cool works. Someone should trim those leaves so people can see them better! 🤭

Maybe the priest at the end should be blessing the Canadiens for next year 🤷‍♂️

The Canadiens are going to need it... because the team is in "full reconstruction".
