Artwork description

Inspired by technical transparency and stained glass overlays, this mural is composed of “windows” that give a visualisation of Ahuntsic’s elements. This uneven fusion of images evokes the architecture of the College Ahuntsic, appearing elsewhere at the bottom of the wall. We also find the unmistakable silhouette of Papineau Leblanc bridge, as well as local houses cornices. The play of colors and frames was specifically chosen to integrate the two windows on the top of the facade. Graphic elements such as telephone lines against the light and the circles interrupt the linear effect of framing blocks and give an effect of motion to the composition.
The mural was designed and executed by : Ankh One and Dodo Ose.
