Our Lady of Grace

http://www.commondreams.org/further/2011/12/15-8



Using 500 cans of spray paint over 16 days of work, five members of the Montreal-based artist collective A'shop created an extraordinary Art Nouveau-inspired street mural because, "Our city has way too much gray." Here's what they made.
"Graffiti as a form of visual language can be hard to comprehend. We thought it would be interesting to paint this mural in a more common language, using imagery that anyone can understand, initiating dialog and building bridges."
