Kingsway Royal 1

On June 14, 2018 By ResaIn Murals, Underpasses31 Comments

It’s a nostalgic mural of the Kingsway Royal York area, in an underpass.

Let me back up to the beginning. It starts with a park.

This mural is not quite 3 years old, and already the rain run-off has left its marks.

The park is at the entrance to the tunnel.

When we enter the tunnel, there is a street with a theater,

…a bakery…

… a bank & couple other businesses.

The rest of this side of the underpasses mural is after the planter, for the next post.

I’ve seen this style face before, but I just can’t put a finger on who the artist is.

Queen Frida

I start with a car roof reflection of Elicsr’s wall portrait of Frida Kahlo.

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907 – 1954) is remembered for her self-portraits, and paintings filled with bold colors & Mexican and indigenous culture .

I believe the title “Queen” comes from the idea that she is the original”Selfies Queen”. This article from “The Guardian” Frida Kahlo: feminist, selfie queen, queer icon and style muse of 2017 is very interesting.

In 2006, Frida Kahlo self-portrait, Roots, was sold for $5.62 million at Sotheby’s, NYC.

This painting is quite old for alley art. Possibly 10 years. It has survived in a heavily tagged area.

This is a classic style Graffiti Mural. It has an image & writing.

This is part of the Seven Wonders of the World series in Chinatown east.

Recently, Professional Moron posted a book review on the book: The Great Wall of China: by Franz Kafka. Below is an image of the wall that goes with the post. Click on the pic to go to that post.

Many facts about the Great Wall are spelled out in the post, and it definitely worth reading.
