"LEONARD COHEN"

by Kevin Ledo

Born in 1934 into a middle-class Jewish family in a suburb of Montreal, Leonard Cohen was always interested in music and poetry and taught himself to play guitar. A decade after graduating from McGill University Cohen decided "I'm going to be a songwriter." Translating his poetry to music over the next half-century Cohen became widely acknowledged as one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Performed by countless artists, his song "Hallelujah" alone has been covered by almost 200 singers in multiple languages. A year after Cohen died in Los Angeles in 2016, Montreal's @MuralFestival asked famed local muralist / artist Kevin Ledo to bring Cohen home with this 9-story work overlooking Saint Laurent Blvd at Napoleon St. Ledo says the 13' x 90' Leonard Cohen tribute took three weeks and required 40 gallons of paint, but the end result was his most popular work of the year.  @kevinledo/

“THE SUN GODDESSES”

by Fin DAC and Kevin Ledo

This is the kind of work that keeps even the most jaded art lover coming back to Wynwood. With Irish artist Fin DAC painting the figure to the left and Montreal’s Kevin Ledo working  independently on the figure to the right, it’s remarkable how seamlessly the two figures fuse into a singular cohesive collaboration. While there are differences between styles and methodologies of the two artists, it helps that both typically paint bold figures suspended in space without foreground or background. With the coordination of poses, ornamentation, and color palette, and the addition of the unifying gold leaf suns, the result is well worthy of a visit. The work sits on NW 3rd Ave. near NW 29th St. in Wynwood, Miami.  @findac​  @kevinledo
