Hsix has been doing graffiti in Montreal since he was 14 years old. Over the last few years, he’s produced artistic murals that are less graffiti oriented. He specialises in colourful but realistic representations of faces.
The artist HSIX has illustrated Albert Saint-Martin, a militant worker of the last century and a pioneer of socialism among the francophones in Quebec. This mural includes a nod to the pickle factory that was once located across the street from it.
