Montreal is full of creative people starting the year bursting with energy, ambition and desire to attain great things.Lucki Tah is one of those energetic creators, a painter and model whose work jumps out and fills the chasm of darkness with dynamic charm and daring bravado.
Artists are what make Montreal great.
To our credit, the island city on the St. Lawrence is a city that judges you less on the size of your cubicle than on the quality of your creation.Modern myth had Tony Manero mixing paint, delivering gallons in the same Cuban heeled shoes that made him a star on the dance floor.
Lucki Tah?
She works at Tim Horton's.
She's not even a manager.
But after a day fetching your fancy coffees and wiping down tables she's a tour de force whose work as a model is celebrated by thousands who know talent.
Lucki Tah, who declined to tell me her real name, is just 19, is self-taught and commutes 90 minutes to work from some place east of the island called Charlemagne .
She is inspired by Montreal artist Maliciouz and in spite of her bombastic online persona this girl is timid as a sparrow.
When we met near Chabanel she was even walking with a limp, seriously a limp.
Chimples and I fell in love with those two paintings, Bitch in the City Parts 1 and 2 and they now adorn the walls of Coolopolis Towers, so you'll see them at the Candlemas Party you'll surely be getting your invitation to soon.
