Street Art #255 Klone, Montreal
Personal Topography (detail), 2016 Mural Festival
I could never take a good photo without a car parked in front... And in summer, the mural is hidden by the tree with all its leaves. And of course, I already passed in front without any car but also without camera :-). It's the best I could do.
WHERE
Rue Prince Arthur and Rue Sainte-Famille, Montreal.

WHO
Igor Revelis aka Klone is an artist born in Ukraine in 1983 and now based in Tel-Aviv (Israel) since his childhood.
At first, his work is an introspection of his memories about his childhood in the USSR. Now, with exhibitions and murals all around the world, Klone integrates more elements of art history and regional iconography in his works.
"We're all clones but each is trying to prove he's different and special, thus its Klone and not Clone, same but different." - Klone (source : Fatcap.com, good source of information on its beginnings in Tel Aviv but the interview is a bit old - 2010)
Without this car, it'll be perfect
I like the way he integrates his work with the building. I was interested by the artist, so I looked for his paintings done for his last solo exhibition, The be(Longing) at the Urban Spree Galerie (Berlin, Germany). Cool abstract paintings.
