Men of Montreal: Kaytranada & Ricardo Cavolo
Montreal is a city of artistic and cultural diversity. Montreal celebrates artistic diversity through the eclectic collection of works, notably displayed on city streets. Amongst street artists is Ricardo Cavolo.
Cavolo’s work includes a grand-scale mural presented on Montreal’s most vibrant streets, Saint Laurent. In his work, Cavolo recognizes his influences, including Spanish heritage through religious and tribal imagery and modern tattoo culture. Montreal is an appropriate house to Cavolo’s work as it similarly blends various cultural influences.
In addition to visual art, Montreal encourages music production. The immense creativity of the city incites musicians to explore sounds beyond contrived styles. Montreal native Kaytranada utilizes his Montreal-bred sound in his acclaimed album 99.9%. It is no surprise Kaytranada selected Cavolo as his album artwork. Montreal embraces its creativity in all forms, merging the work of two men widely regarded in the local scene, Kaytranda and Ricardo Cavolo.
