Artwork description
This mural, covering 130 square meters, is a reproduction of an original painting by artist Miyuki Tanobe, commissioned by MU. It depicts winter play in an urban setting, daily life in a vibrant Montreal neighborhood with a few anachronisms for good measure. The mural was completed over a nine-week period by muralist Annie Hamel and MU’s artistic team.
The mural celebrates the work of Miyuki Tanobe and accordingly, is part of a series entitled Hommage aux bâtisseurs culturels montrélais, initiated by MU in 2010.
