Montreal-based graffiti crew A’shop transformed was the bland side of a building located at the corner of Madison and Sherbrooke Street West into an awesome work of art.

“Graffiti artists Fluke, Guillaume Lapointe, Antonin Lambert, DoDo Ose and Bruno Rathbone spent two weeks researching the project and gathering tools they needed, and then worked 16 days from dawn till dusk in order to complete the incredible five-storey mural. Known as the “N.D.G. Project” (after its location), the giant graffiti artwork is a modern take on “Our Lady of Grace” and was inspired by the work of Czech art nouveau painter Alphonse Mucha. To finish their masterpiece, the boys from A’shop used over 500 cans of paint, in over 50 different colors.”
