LE CARTEL, a prominent art group that has been part of Montrealâs art scene since 2015, chose Kazakh-born and Mile-End-raised artist Ola Volo as the mastermind behind the cityâs newest mural.
âAfter one month of work, this mural of 15,000 square feet will become a symbolic icon to the Mile End,â reads the Walla Volo website. âThis colourful, creative, multicultural artwork will become a symbol of freedom as indicated in the quote youâll find at the bottom of the wall: âArt is a space where freedom tests its wings.’â
Ola Volo posted a montage of the project’s massive scope to her Instagram before inviting guests out to the grand unveiling, even through the rain. “It has been one of the biggest projects for me and Iâm so thankful for everyone who was involved,” captioned Volo.
