Street Art #218 Ola Volo & Leon Kerr (2019 Mural Festival), Montreal (Canada)
Today, we're going to see the creative processus of two artists, Ola Volo and Leon Kerr, during the last Mural Festival. Their works are side by side but Kerr's optical illusion is almost erased as it was done directly on the street.
At the end, some news about street art and a photo that proves street art is really an ephemeral art.

Then the colors.
You can see on the street the work of Leon Kerr. Perfect transition :-)
Leon Kerr
Leon Kerr is known for his 3D street art creation done all around the world (Europe, US, Russia, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand... and now Canada), anamorphic arc as he says. He began graffiti twenty years ago with some commercial mural paintings.
"For me creating an artwork is all about having the right commitment to exploiting your craftmanship and right use of materials. An energyflow where I am able to visualize the concept that I have in my mind." - Leon Kerr (source)
Instruction to take the perfect selfie
This work is already almost erased... I hope he'll come back to town to do another optical illusion, impressive.

Bonus News
First, Miss Van's work for the festival was a little covered by big white graff... Ephemeral art.
Street Art #214, if you want to see the mural without degradation.
Just about the opening of Banksy' store in London with online shop Gross Domestic Product (not online yet)... I feel that the products will be sold quickly, very quickly.

That toalet...! Leon Keer's toalet is amazing! It really looks as if you can walk right into it! A shame with the degradation on Miss Van. The one you took during the festival is certainly more representative... Thanks for sharing :)

Checked him out. Amazing work!
the work of ola volo reminds me of the characters at the card games (skat). really nice. i like this art work. but of course the toilet is also awesome.
