Weston Road Flow
34 John Street
This is a multi-panel mural, which references Drake’s Weston Road Flows as the title, that pays homage to Weston as the home of the bicycle, the manufacturing of which was an important industry in Weston.
Nineteen panels stand in single and grouped segments to the right of the Artscape Weston Common building. The panels, whether grouped or single, are spaced evenly and each segment is dedicated to bicycles and their various owners.
The mural, done in spray paint, consists of people set against a backdrop of abstract geometrical shapes. In the mural, each segment is dedicated to a specific scene, whether it be a young girl on a pink tricycle or a couple sharing a bike ride together.
The artist uses the people of the mural to tell a story, depicting them donning time-specific fashion or tying in the bicycle's history in the area. Their posture depicts the mood of the rider or what the bicycle is being used for such as a competitive race or a leisurely ride through a park.
An interesting thing to note is that the artist incorporates different types of bicycles into the design. This can be identified by making note of the handlebars of the bikes.
The mural captures the members of the community of Weston and the diversity of the bikers in the area along with the myriad of uses for the bicycle such as commute, leisure, exercise and sport.
