Born in Montreal to a family of Chinese-Cambodian refugees, this dual culture has led him to create in a desire to build and define himself. With a degree in graphic design, he became familiar with the digital world, aware of the infinite possibilities of these media, yet wary of their mechanicity, preferring the intuitiveness that a more abstract pictorial approach allows him, to compositions influenced by his past as a graffiti artist. He paints everyday subjects with a pronounced taste for geometric shapes and compositions inspired by graphic design. Somewhere between figurative and abstract art, he creates dynamic compositions in which he deconstructs forms to give a second approach to an image, an idea, a memory…
His work can be seen in the United States, Canada, Haiti and Cambodia. Beyung lives and works in Montreal.
Artwork description
In addition to highlighting the prominence of green and blue spaces in the area, this triptych of murals created by Bryan Beyung and produced by MU is an allusion to Saint-Jean-Baptiste street’s previous name. It was formerly known as “La Route des deux rivières” (the road of the two rivers) because it’s the only axis linking the two banks of the river, in addition to connecting the two areas of the borough. It was the second mural produced by MU in the borough.
