Today, I present you a superb mural made by the collective [**En Masse**](https://www.enmasse.info/) during the festival **A pied et À vélo** in 2014 in Villeray (Montreal). We recognize the style of the crew who often chooses to work in black and white so that the whole work is coherent despite the difference in style of each artist. Always an interesting result.

In an alley on Castelnau Street near to [**Les Givrés**](https://www.lesgivres.ca/) (it can be translate as The Frosted Ones), very good ice-cream especially pistachio, my favourite, Montreal, Canada.

[**En Masse**](https://www.enmasse.info/), from French as a whole or all together, is a Montreal-based collaboration of artists who create large-scale, generally black and white, murals. The project was created by **Tim Barnard** and **Jason Botkin** in 2009, at the Galerie Pangée (Montreal, Canada), now under the direction of Botkin and **Rupert Bottenberg**.

> I really like the face of this astronaut, very nice work done by [**Dan Buller**](https://www.instagram.com/danbuller/). Too bad, the small green tag on the part done by [Jason Botkin](https://www.instagram.com/robotkin/) but it doesn't completely spoil the work especially since it dates from 2014, very old for Street Art.
*J'aime beaucoup le visage de cette astronaute, très beau travail de [**Dan Buller**](https://www.instagram.com/danbuller/). Dommage, le petit tag vert sur la partie faite par [Jason Botkin](https://www.instagram.com/robotkin/), mais bon il ne gâche pas complètement l'œuvre surtout qu'elle date de 2014, très âgée pour du Street Art. 😀*

On the other side of the street, in the same alley, there is another mural made by the artists of [**En Masse**](https://www.enmasse.info/)  at the same festival in 2014.

The other photos in this mural are blurry and I didn't have beer in my blood.
