French Fourch and H2L "kicked" off a new astonishing exhibition based on Hip-Hop at the Paper Apartment Gallery (3655 St Laurent, suite #206) last Friday. Throughout the opening night of sipping PBR's and listening to some sweet rhymes. The art installations really reflected the groups almost innocent desire to speak about Hip-Hop and its influence on post-teenage minds with a fun approach. The art ranged from paintings, drawings, installations, books, shirts, and even a free "tag" wall. Guests were invited to mark there spot on the white wall. All items seemed to have this overlapping concept to some of the kings of the genre of Hip hop; which matched the crowds excitement. All while the beat pumping out of the boom box from those kings.

The crews were made up as follows: H2L (Karmen Mantha and Emilio Esteban) and French Fourch (Maxime Francout, Adrien Baudet and Sylvain Martet). Who can all seem to speak about the music and art scene in a fun clever english/french Montreal kind of way. Having been spotted in other local events as well. The idea of music supporting art is to shed the light of the artistic talent these guys are pushing. If your're wondering how to get a glimpse of this latest installation, click on the link below for a slideshow of the art and for more details.

After a night of sweaty break dance Hip hop magic and fun times. The guys have finally decided that people who want to see this event can come by appointment from now to December 11th ( could serve as a pretty sick pre drink - just saying ) or freely on Saturday 12th December from 2pm to 8pm. The gallery phone number for visits: 514-850-9127. For my next query, look forward to a interview that I'll be doing with gallery owners hopeflly. Who are keen to get reaching out to local items and issues that effect art fashion montreal, and have an amazing space to do so. More to come on that front.
