Bryan Beyung was born in Montreal, among a refugee family. This marriage of culture lead him to a sense of creation driven by the wish of self-definition. Bachelor in graphic design, the artist grows within the fast-paced world of digital technologies. Even though he is aware of the infinite possibilities these tools present, he remains careful concerning their mechanisms. His influence taking roots in its past as a graffiti artist, he prefers intuitive methods allowing for a deeper sense of abstract picturing. He creates unstructured and dynamic compositions where the freedom of the gesture meets precision of the technique. Between figurative and abstract art, empty spaces and burst of colors, formal art and graphic design, the strength of his work is in this constant duality.
Artwork description
A permanent exhibition in the heart of Place Dupuis! This journey of 12 murals is designed as a walking art experience in Place Dupuis, in the heart of downtown Montreal. Composed of works by emerging artists, it is meant to be an artistic and collective adventure that offers visitors the chance to engage actively with art and discover new naturalist painting, exploring the relationship between humans and the natural environment.
Bringing art to a place like this provides a real experience for the workers and citizens who pass by every day. This initiative helps to encourage them to use this walkway, which then becomes an essential part of the downtown area, as well as providing access to art for all. It brings serenity; an unexpected feeling for a permanent visual art exhibition of “in-between places”, which shifts the gaze amidst a harmony of themes and colors.
This project was produced by MU as part of the “J’aime travailler au centre-ville” initiative, launched by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal (CCMM) with the support of the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie.
