Photo du jour – Poppies

7 comments

1. What a brilliant way to bring art to the city. Is there a story behind this particular one?

2. There is an extaordinary balcony – like a surrealist or automatist work of art – on Drolet between Jean-Talon and Castelnau (west side of the street) in Villeray. Worth going to see next time you are at Jean-Talon market.

3. I’m always appreciative of imaginative use of brick patterns to bring fractal depth to otherwise plain & monotonous building blocks, but this is in a class by itself! Inspiring! I’m curious too about the artist(s) behind it.

   A photo essay of brick usage is in the cards, perhaps. As soon as school schedule permits.

   Merci à MG for the Drolet tip!

4. Here’s a La Presse feature on the house, and the couple that bought and renovated it. Don’t forget the slideshow!

5. Looks like a building with sickle cell anemia. But that’s just me. :) It’s down the street, I’ll go ask the owners what the scoop is on the design.

6. It looks like an air-raid shelter to me, so I hope that my neighbour does not copy the design !

7. The paint dosn’t hide the boring and pokey design.To me ,It looks like a building for housing machinery.
