Street Art #307 Denial, Montreal
Always the hot topic, especially in North America, Black Lives Matter, Denial has just designed this Pop mural for this edition of the Mural Festival :
Sorry is not Enough with a style close to the American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, no ?
It replaces the mural made by Miss Van last year which has been a little vandalized with some tags since then.

Sometimes the Mural Festival organizers try to erase the tags but in this case it was mission impossible given the details. Too bad!
But the new one is pretty cool too and with an important social message.

WHO
Borin in 1976, Daniel Joseph Bombardier aka Denial is a Canadian artist who uses Pop-Art to convey his social and political messages, criticism of today's very consumerist and capitalist world by hijacking these most striking symbols. I like it...

He began graffiti in 1999 with his nickname Denial as a means of poking fun at advertising. Now, his studio is based in Windsor in Canada (near to Detroit). With a lot of travel all around the world, you can see his works on the walls and also in art galleries.
And with this mural, Station 16 presented a new solo show VACCINE, great selection of Pop Art painting, prints, sculptures...

Great selection from Denial. Hot topics at the moment...
Yep a mural with a message... I like it!
It's quite a beautifully done, and timely piece given what's going on in the world right now. Racism is continually baffling to me as to why its still around, especially systemically rooted in society. I hope those who walk past this mural will have that realisation, too.
It's a good way to ponder this subject.
Aye, I find things with a cultural impact like art and music to have the biggest effect on people when sensitive issues like this appear.
