The 12e edition of Mural, an urban art festival that highlights the work of a number of visual artists from here and elsewhere, ended this Sunday on Saint-Laurent Boulevard and in the adjoining streets on the Plateau Mont-Royal . Our photographers Adil Boukind and Valérian Mazataud followed the evolution of the execution of the works of several muralists during the festival: Montrealers Jamie Janx Johnston, LaCharbonne and Bryan Beyung, as well as Indian artist Osheen Siva.
