DESCRIPTION DE L'OEUVRE

La murale May an Old Song Open a New World produite par MU et réalisée par Bryan Beyung et Gene Pendon (deux artistes montréalais d’origine asiatique) vient célébrer la richesse de la culture chinoise et de son peuple, qui contribue grandement à la diversité culturelle montréalaise. Le projet s’inscrit dans le projet plus vaste de réhabilitation du pôle touristique du Quartier chinois.

Réalisée sur fond rouge (synonyme de prospérité, d’héroïsme, de courage et de bravoure dans la culture chinoise), l’oeuvre est composée en avant-plan d’une chanteuse d’opéra chinoise ornée d’une fleur de lys jaune fleurissante. En arrière-plan, un cercle représente l’unité, alors que les masques latéraux font écho à l’optimisme et à la nostalgie qui caractérisent l’arrivée dans un nouveau pays.

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

The mural May an Old Song Open a New World produced by MU and created by Gene Pendon and Bryan Beyung — both of Asian descent —, celebrates the richness of the Chinese culture and the significant contribution of its people to Montreal’s cultural diversity. The project is consistent with the broader revitalization efforts of the Chinatown tourist hub.

Painted on a bright red background (synonymous with prosperity, heroism, courage and bravery in the Chinese culture), the image features a female Chinese opera singer decorated with a yellow, blooming lily in the foreground. In the background, a circle represents unity while the masks on either side signify the characteristic mix of optimism and nostalgia upon arrival in a new country.
