Here my entry for the CCC's Street Art Contest #34 with a mural done by one of my favorite Montreal's street artist Jest :
Afghan girl Sharbat Gula and the Buddha of Bamiyan on the wall of the Afghan restaurant FenĂȘtre Sur Kaboul on Rachel Street in Montreal. Never eaten in this restaurant before, I hope to do so one day (when restaurants are allowed to reopen, soon please đ·)
Born in US and now based in Montreal, Jest is also known as The Moon Guy for his signature. His universe is a very colorful science fiction with alien characters but not in this artistic command. But just across the street, a mural in his usual universe :
| Who : | Jest |
| How : | Mural |
| Where : | On the wall of the restaurant FenĂȘtre Sur Kaboul on Rachel Street, Montreal. Google Maps |
| When : | Unknown |
Very close to reality, non?
Sharbat Gulais known for the photo done by journalist Steve McCurry in 1985 for the cover of National Geographic.
Buddha of Bamiyan : two giant Budhas statues in Afghanistan destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban.
