Imagine all the potholes in Montreal were filled with delicious-looking mosaics – there wouldn’t be much asphalt left to drive on! Mosaich artist Jim Bachor has taken on the project of filling potholes with his fragmented representations of sweets and desserts. Treats in the Streets cleverly contrasts the rough texture/dull colour of the streets, against the smooth, colourful mosaic tiling along the streets of Chicago, and Jyväskylä, Finland. These bright, embedded works are sure to brighten any pedestrian’s day, and even more likely to cause some serious sweet-tooth cravings. We’re hoping Jim Bachor will bring his sweets to the streets of Montreal! We’re thinking a Queue-de-Casteur mosaic would do the trick.
