The Franco-Swiss artist Saype, known for his giant frescoes painted on the ground, unveiled a new work in the park on Friday Community Commun in Mississauga, near Toronto.
The artist reimagines this gathering space to transform it into a temporary living canvas of 2,500 m2 on the occasion of Mississauga’s 50th anniversary.
The work, made with biodegradable paint, represents a child building a house with Kapla blocks, small wooden boards.
The mural stands out from the tall buildings around the park and represents the cultural diversity of the city, which welcomes communities from all backgrounds.
