Street Art #465 Florian Wall (Part One), Montréal

[heroldius]

I love it when my two passions come together as in this picture, with this beautiful white Chevrolet Impala in front of a very cool lettering done by the late Alex Scaner, who left too soon. In two posts, we'll go around this building which is located at the corner of Florian and De Rouen streets next to the De Rouen viaduct, a legal wall for graffiti in Montreal.

J'adore quand mes deux passions se retrouvent comme sur cette photo, avec une magnifique Chevrolet Impala blanche devant un très beau lettering fait par le regretté Alex Scaner, parti trop tôt. En deux posts, nous allons faire le tour de ce bâtiment qui se trouve au coin des rues Florian et De Rouen à côté du viaduc De Rouen, mur légal pour la pratique du graffiti à Montréal.

Scan

The biography comes from a post I made about this artist a few months ago Street Art #312. Alexandre Veilleux aka Alex Scaner is born in early 80's. During his studies at Notre Dame College in Montreal, he did his first graffiti since then it has never stopped. After his studies, Alex made a living creating legal murals for hotels, bars and stores. At night, Scaner was looking (scanning the streets) for the perfect places to paint, hence maybe his surname. But by the age of 28, he is affected by liposarcoma (wiki). After his first cancer diagnosis, he wanted to create and multiply his signature on the walls, not only of Montreal, but also of Miami, New York. He died at the age of 36 on September 9, 2017. Since then, he has never disappeared from the walls of Montreal.

La biographie vient d'un post que j'avais fait sur cet artiste il y a quelques mois Street Art #312. Alexandre Veilleux aka Alex Scaner est né dans les années. Pendant ses études au collège Notre Dame, il réalise son premier graffiti et après il n'a jamais arrêté. Après ses études, de jour, Scan réalise des murales pour les hôtels, bars et magasins… Mais la nuit, il scanne des murs pour trouver la meilleure place pour ses œuvres (d'où son surnom). Mais à l'âge de 28 ans, il est diagnostiqué avec un liposarcome (wiki). Cette nouvelle lui donna l'envie incontrôlable de créer et de multiplier sa signature sur les murs du monde entier. Il est mort à l'âge de 36 en septembre 2017 laissant un énorme impact sur la scène montréalaise. Depuis, il n'a jamais disparu des murs de Montréal.
