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
This artwork harmoniously combines figurative elements and abstraction, featuring a flowing line dotted with curves and circles that evoke the passage of time and its key moments.
The piece depicts an elderly person and a child, symbols of an intergenerational family bond. These two figures exchange a glance toward a “temporal window” of the neighborhood. The corners of Masson Street and 4th Avenue are depicted with precision, helping the viewer to situate themselves within this world.
The green and colorful elements of the neighborhood are also present in the composition, notably as a planter hanging from the street sign.
Finally, the railway history of Vieux-Rosemont is highlighted through the locomotive and the old CP tower of the Shops Angus. This reference recalls the important historical role of the train in the neighborhood, also emphasized by the presence of the rails marking the western boundary of the area. The elderly figure wears a railway worker’s hat, reinforcing the connection between the community and its railway heritage.
