{"title":"LeBicar Montréal 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe sat down with \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Bicari a.k.a LeBicar\u003c\/strong\u003e at her boutique on St-Hubert in Montreal to get to learn a bit more about the super woman behind the art, her dreams and motivations. Here is how our Q\u0026amp;A went down:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. What was your creative intent behind this project?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eThe artwork was created during a very cyclical period for the artist. For several days prior to its creation, the artist was listening to Judy Garland's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSomewhere \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eO\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ever the Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e, a bit of a hymn to hope. At the same time, the artist regularly watched the tornado scene from the beginning of the film \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e. The tornado in this 1939 classic reminded her of a more recent natural disaster, the one in the film \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwister\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e (one of the few VHS tapes in her family’s collection). In fact, it was \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lion King\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLittle Rascals\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwister\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica Neue\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e that formed the basis of their film collection. To this day, the artist maintains that: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThese are the best films ever made! And it's not because I've seen nothing else!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. How would you describe your experience working with LeBraquet.cc?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI just loved the guys. It was super stimulating and inspiring to work alongside such passionate people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. How do you think this project will leave its legacy in the Montreal cycling community?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI think that in the world of sportswear in general, there’s a lack of art. It’s always fun to be able to express your identity through your clothing. I hope this collaboration can do some good for the Montreal cycling community.  Add a little colour and maybe even motivate some people to get on their bikes and get moving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. \u003cspan\u003eWith Le Braquet, you’ve chosen to give a part of the profits from the sale of the products to La Maison Grise de Montréal. What’s so special and significant about your choice of this organization?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe reality of women in vulnerable situations has always been a cause close to my heart. I’m very grateful for the existence of organizations like La Maison Grise de Montréal.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.lebraquet.cc\/en-dk\/collections\/lebicar-montreal-2026.oembed","provider":"Le Braquet Cycling Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
