Artducommun

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 wall is part of the project La Belle Dame, a representation of historical events in Lachine. Only defied by adventurous travelers and those called « les cageux » who transported wood by boat, the Lachine rapids became a tourist attraction on the mid 19th century for extreme sensations amateurs who would defy the rapids on steamboats. The maritime Canada Steamship line company ended those tourist activities in 1949.
