Laneway Lovely

I spotted this mural somewhere in a laneway in Kensington Market and what a lovely piece it is. It is a collaboration between artists Bacon and ArtChild and was done in 2007 and seems to have survived the years quite well.

    The Buddha exudes serenity in any setting. Especially in a this laneway in Toronto. Nice close-up and framing. Thanks, Pat, for contributing to Monday Mural.

    The artwork is quite good. It takes careful looking to realize that the head is flat, not a carving.
