Our lady of grace (ASHOP, Montreal)

Born to a sharecropper family in Cairo, Georgia in 1919, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball when he played his first game with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Few know, however, that a year before he entered the history books, Robinson was embraced by the Montréal Royals, a farm team for the Dodgers. Robinson had four hits in his first game for the Royals and despite facing racial threats on on the road no one dared insult him in Montréal. Already honored by plaques and statues in the city, @AshopCrew founder and artist Fluke added this tribute at Napoleon and Saint Laurent for the city's 2017 @MuralFestival . Incorporating textures, patterns, calligraphy, and iconography, Fluke's unique blend of graffiti, and contemporary urban art has made his a leader on the Canadian street art landscape.  @fluke.art/

Kim Gingras says from the time she first jumped on a bus from Montreal to audition in NYC, working as a professional dancer has been an unbelieveable ride, culminating with her dream job of standing on stage with Beyoncé. While perfecting skills is important she says developing the right mindset and positive attitude is even more important, leading her to partner with Mel Mah starting “You Got This, Girl” (YGTG) to help cultivate a new generation of determined but kind-hearted young women. In 2015 Fluke, fellow Canadian and founder and artistic director of A˙shop, painted this portrayal of Gingras at The Container Yard on 4th St. in the Arts District of Los Angeles. Fluke, who was mentored from a very young age by the fathers of Montreal graffiti, started A˙shop in 2009 as both agency and artist collective, supporting artists and improving the urban aesthetic at the same time.  @fluke.art  @ashopcrew  @kimgingras  @ygtgofficial
