Another great work done by Johnny Crap aka Zen, not far away from the Dark Vador from my last post Street Art #336 with DFEK :
With Doctor Doom, Marie-Anne street almost becomes an open-air painting gallery of Bad Guys š
WHERE
Alley on Marie-Anne between Rivard and Berri Street, Montreal, Canada.
Position on Google Maps
WHO
I like the sign "No trash can in this alley" and the little trash sitting quietly underneath. š
Jonathan Bergeron aka Johnny Crap is a self-taught painter and illustrator who lives in Montreal. He begans to paint graffiti that ignited his interest in Art before made a name in the Kustom Kulture (custom cars / hot rod). Now, he's more a painter, but doesn't abandon Street Art, illustrating dark imaginary scenes with animals and skulls (especially the Calavera : Mexican skull). You can see some of his paintings on wowxwow.
He's huge movie's fan especially of the Bad Guys as you can see with Doctor Doom from Marvel Universe. They're both frightening and poetic, thanks to the presence of natural figurative elements that soften the entire composition. He signs often with a stunning 3D lettering Zen.
"I'm a self taught artist, who studied graffiti, punk/harcore album covers & skateboard deck art on his own time." - (source : drawninblack.com in 2011)
