Printemps : Hommage à Marcelle Ferron
Philippe Allard 2013-06-01/2013-07-01
From the collection of
MU
Printemps is the title of Philippe Allard’s mural, which unfolds along the pedestrian tunnel linking the main entrance of the Champ-de-Mars metro station to Old Montreal. Rather than trying to conceal the intervals in the concrete tunnel’s architecture, Allard cleverly enhanced them effectively transforming the passerby’s visual experience in the process. Thanks to a kaleidoscope of color, the 1,000 linear foot tunnel is now a fun, modern, vibrant and inviting passageway!
