Labrona and Friends: Non-Lazy Days Of Summer in Montreal

Canadian Street Artist/graffiti artist/fine artist Labrona has been maximizing the beautiful summer weather by doing some murals at the festival in Montreal (our coverage here) and along with Mu-art. Since it can get rather dull and old when you are painting by yourself all the time, he also hit a wall with buddies Produkt and Befour.

The industrious and deliberate anonymous portraitist tries to squeeze in the occasional skate session or feed his much loved freight addiction when he can, naturally. Balancing the more polished studio side with his spontaneous outcroppings of nearly expressionless, possibly cogitating people and characters, these murals are a combination of the two disciplines. Using dimensional rendering of stylized forms, it’s an opportunity to showcase his sophisticated color palette, his respect for classical painting methods, and an undertone of comic appreciation for personality. As long as it is a chill spot, Labrona would prefer not to rush.
