Artwork description
The design was inspired by the Czech Art nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha and incorporates six panels illustrating landmarks of NDG. Before being developed, the area was a marsh where farmers would grow pumpkin patches, this is why it was chosen as decorative ornaments. For 16 days straight, from dawn to dusk, the team worked on the mural. It took 500 cans of Molotow spray paint in over 50 different colors to complete the piece. The mural was designed and executed by : Axe, Bruno Rathbone, Dodo Ose, Fluke and Zek One.
