His work can be seen in the United States, Canada, Haiti and Cambodia. Beyung lives and works in Montreal.

Artwork description
This artwork transforms the pillars of the A40 into a true open-air art gallery in the heart of Montreal’s Saint-Michel neighborhood. Eight local muralists have created some twenty colorful murals on the highway’s columns, thereby kickstarting the area’s revitalization. This artistic gesture serves as a powerful visual landmark for the Circus art district and makes the space more welcoming for pedestrians and cyclists. An initiative by and for the community, designed primarily by local artists and intended for the residents of Saint-Michel.
