Artwork description

David Guinn and Phillip Adams used the fireworks, the Mount Royal tamtams and the crowds of festival-goers to capture summer in Montreal. Hot Summer Night is another mural in the series The Montreal Seasons located at Habitation Jeanne-Mance. The two first murals created in 2009 depict contemporary landscapes : the first, an autumn day ; the second, a dramatic winter scene. The common theme used in all works of art at the Habitations Jeanne-Mance (CHJM) is nature and vegetation. This artistic guideline was developed with the collaboration of the CHJM as part of a global improvement plan that aims to position the complex as the green heart of the downtown area.
