For the 25th anniversary of one of the oldest Street Art festivals in North America (founded in 1996), Under Pressure has gone this summer online for the music and dance but all the walls used for the festival have been painted as you can see on this post :
- Street Art #314 : 123Klan
- Street Art #315 : LTG & POM Wall
- Street Art #316 : K6A Wall
- Street Art #317 : Le Gentil Crew
- Street Art #318 : Moule & Louis Letters
- Street Art #320 : La Patrie Building
- Street Art #322 : H2k & LTG Wall
- Street Art #323 : Hoar, Jest...
But I was still missing a long wall full of cool lettering but located in a narrow street with always cars in front. Difficult to have a good picture of it !
and this is the best shot I've had, with only a clear area surrounded by a portable toilet and a few parked cars 😀. From left to right, bottom : Zek, Cemz, Maysr, Timer, Scieter. Top : Enter, Fathom, Zen, Clokone
This year, the OG Wall was curated by Maysr, artist and designer based in Montreal and India.

Zek
Zek is street artist based in Montreal. He started graffiti in 1993 and still doing it with the collective Ashop. Huge influence on the Montreal street art scene with his lettering and photorealism works.
Cemz
Benny Wilding aka Cemz discovered street art during a trip to New York at the age of 12 in the mid-90s, influenced by the spray-painted walls all over the city. He returned to Montreal to devote himself to street art. He started in 1997 as Cemz in writing. Benny Wilding is more for his figurative works or fake street signs.

You have to get to know him because of the number of posts I've made recently about this artist and his series of Bad Guys😀 :
- Venom for the contest hosted by @digi-me CCC's Street Art Contest #27
- Doctor Doom Street Art #337
- Dark Vador Street Art #336
C'Lok
Two other artists participated to this wall but car was just in front of their works. Just a zoom on my first picture (the best I can currently) :
One day I'm sure I'll be able to take the pictures that these works deserve and share them with you 😀.
WHEN
