“Strange Bedfellows” by artist group Phantoms in the Front Yard

“A mural of various figures. The essence of the group’s purpose is to
address the fact that Modernist and Postmodern schools of thought
virtually ignore the importance of figurative work, effectively banishing
it to the back yard. With each exhibition, the Phantoms hope to bring
figurative work back to its rightful place in the front yard of contemporary art.”

Founded in 2010, Phantoms in the Front Yard is a Vancouver based
figurative artist collective focused on elevating the human figure’s
role as muse in the Canadian contemporary art scene.

A collage of multiple characters from all walks of life doing their thing.
To help further their cause, I have included two live figures :0)

So much to see in this one! The framing with the colorful trees is wonderful as are the two people walking by. Love the Polar Bear up there! V

The framing in riotous autumnal foliage adds to the drama of the mural.

Now I really understand the difficulty that sweeper has being in the center.
It's cool to include those two figures enjoying this mural also.
