Howdy!

I’ve been hanging around Ontario street down in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve recently (it must be something in the water…) and I came across this street art. Great idea and concept, some of them could have been executed slightly better. If you want to click on the link that adds no more information try this or peristylenomade.org.

Something about the bright orange stripes caught my eye.

Between the apartment building, the McDonald’s, the Metro and the concrete, it pretty much is.

Just in case you missed it the first time around.

One thought on “peristylenomade.org”

  1. I’d seen those around, but hadn’t really looked through many. Thought they were a little too conceptual for this area. Still, Peristyle’s always doing interesting stuff, and it’s nice to have a piece about it.
