Street Art #76, 203 Crew (Under Pressure 2018), Montreal
WHERE
On rue de Boisbriand, just behind Les Foufounes Électriques, Montreal, Canada.
WHO
As part of the festival 2018 Under Pressure, 203 Crew realized this mural, The Real, The Fake and the 203's.
I don't much about this crew, only it was founded by Arnold and Borrris in Sherbrooke when graffiti didn't have a real presence in this city, like a school of graffiti. With its artistict abstract direction, 203 moved on to other creative fields (tattoo, legal murals...). Many street artists based on Montreal come from this crew : Lyfer, Eker, Naïmo, Sener, Arnold, Borrris...
WHEN : 2018.
Under Pressure was founded in 1996 by graffiti writers Seaz and Flow, the oldest festival of urban still active in the world. The festival looks like the New-York block parties from the 70s where street artists, graffiti writers, DJs and street dancers come together to share their passion.
Great festival but I missed it this year :-(

Very cool street art. You posted almost exactly at the same time I put up my street art post this morning ;)
I just look your posts, great stuff...
I follow you as I like graffiti (first thing I search when I visit a new city).
