Corydon Avenue & Daly Street   

   These two traffic controller boxes were painted by Michel St. Hilaire in 2010 with sponsorship by Corydon Avenue BIZ. The boxes were replaced in 2013. Shown here is the view facing North.
Original notes follow: ===
Michel Saint Hilaire's newest addition to the Corydon street scene has been painted on the two traffic control boxes which are located in front of the Daly Mural, at Daly Street and Corydon Avenue. The request by the Corydon Avenue Biz was simply to add a flare to the dull green boxes and create another artistic element to the area.

This is a Michel Saint Hilaire original and is very much a style that is found in his personal works. Saint Hilaire's fine art explores the prairie landscape. In addition to the softness and fluidity of nature comes a layer of architectural elements and linear patterns which suggests the invasive and transformative qualities brought on by humans.

Michel St. Hilaire: "I was influenced by the MTS building while I was painting the boxes which is just across the street. It was a very spontaneous smaller piece of work!"
