Description

At the 2019 edition of the MURAL Festival in Montreal, Panache Digital Games and Private Division have commissioned local artist Bryan Beyung to create a work inspired by Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.

To create this mural located at the corner of Coloniale and Roy Streets in Montreal, the artist first met with the creative team behind the game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. He then traveled to Africa during the Neogene period and discussed the game's inspirations and ambitions with Patrice Désilets, creative director and co-founder of Panache.

Bryan Beyung then created a unique work inspired by the lush vegetation of the African jungle 10 million years ago. Bryan thus transposes his vision of human evolution, putting food at the heart of his mural.

ABOUT ANCESTORS: THE HUMANKIND ODYSSEY

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is an open-world game in which players must survive the ruthless world of Africa 10 million years ago. To do so, they must explore their environment, develop their clan and expand their territory in order to evolve through species and generations.

ABOUT BRYAN BEYUNG

Beyung was born in Montreal, among a Chinese-Cambodian refugee family. Trained in graphic design, Beyung is aware of the infinite possibilities digital technologies as to offer, he remains careful concerning their aesthetics, preferring intuitive methods allowing for a more abstract picturing, raw lines and deliberate imperfections – an influence taking roots in its past as a graffiti artist. Between figurative and abstract art, he creates dynamic compositions where he deconstructs forms to give a second approach to an image, an idea, a memory. His works can be seen in the United States, Canada, Haiti, Spain, and Cambodia.
