Willingly staying anonymous, Stikki Peaches pictures masked superheroes or overexposed fashion and movie icons that fascinated him as a child. Their faces are his playground. The Montreal-based artist gathers and superposes layers of paper, old magazines, comics, fabrics, reclaimed objects, then writes, spray-paints, tattoos and little by little transforms their irreproachable physique to convey his messages. He leaves his wheatpastes on the walls of Canadian, American and European cities. If you stumble upon one, do feast your eyes on it as his street works are all original pieces.

ARTICLE IN FRENCH | Autrefois perçu comme une « pollution visuelle », le street art est aujourd’hui porté aux nues, coté dans les enchères d’art et commandité de toutes parts. Dans la foulée, Montréal, où se tient depuis jeudi la cinquième édition du festival Mural, s’est taillé une place enviable dans le milieu mondial des arts de la rue et du graffiti.
