The collective project TYXNA gathers various figures of the Montreal mural and digital art.
At the forefront of the artistic experience, their common passion for sharing and togetherness motivated their gathering around a collaborative entity. Eager to create a privileged relationship with the viewer, TYXNA is the result of collective thinking, and offers immersive and sensorial mural works based on urban and digital art techniques with the vocation to bring the public elsewhere, to open a window on innovative pieces that interact with their environment to question it and to provoke thought. With more than 500 projects under their belt, the members of the TYXNA project have a high level of expertise in managing complex productions and collaborating with multiple community organizations from diverse backgrounds. Driven by a deep creative energy, TYXNA carries in its XNA* art as a catalyst for living and building a future together.
Artwork description
Our creation is presented in the form of a diptych aiming to reflect the summer life of LaSalle Park, opposite the two facades which will host our murals. Thus, the lush vegetation of the park will unfold in a pictorial manner on both sides of William MacDonald Street.
These two works embody the joy and plenitude that reign during a hot late summer day in this green space and that our artists were able to capture during visits and their creative workshops with citizens. In this painting, we opted for a playful and fulfilling atmosphere through a scene where children are having fun and celebrating. The decor, representing LaSalle Park, is dominated by a “cotton candy” cloud, and in the distance, we can see anecdotally the Lachine lighthouse.
This painting highlights youth. A young girl hits a piñata while a young boy on a bicycle chases a pigeon. The dynamism of the protagonists, combined with an explosion of confetti and other recreational accessories, aims to intensify the festive atmosphere of the neighborhood.
