Artducommun was founded by Simon Bachand and Jasmin Guérard-Alie in 2006. The Montreal-born art collective is uniting professional artists with over 15 years of experience with murals. Using innovative techniques and a bold sense of imagination, the artists are constantly searching for new and unique ways to approach each creation. Their pieces are designed to integrate into their environments while respecting, incorporating, and enriching the existing architecture. Artducommun’s creative process takes into consideration the history and experience of a work’s location. The positioning of each mural thus creates a space for social interaction, while offering passersby a original and timeless visual experience.

Artwork description
The École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) project was a monumental undertaking, with the creation of a 19,000-square-foot mural. This partnership between the university, producer Artgang and ArtduCommun resulted in a colossal work of art, one of the largest in Montreal. We were selected to represent the significant history of the Griffintown district, where ÉTS is located. Working closely with a committee formed specifically for the project, we conceptualized a model reflecting their vision, incorporating such requisite elements as a plant motif and the former Dow brewery, which once occupied the campus site.
