Streets: Os Gemeos x Futura in NYC (Part 1)

A pretty epic collaboration piece is going down right now in NYC. After attending the opening of the PRISM group show, then hitting up Yosemite with Barry McGee, the twins have now started a huge mural with Futura in Chelsea. Os Gemeos is definitely on a roll after working with another legend, Blu, in Lisbon just a little while ago in May. Now, New York will have not one but two murals from the Brazilian duo.

Openings: “Viva La Revolucion” @ Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

Saturday evening in San Diego was a great night for street, urban, and new contemporary art. With many of the museums in so-called cultural centers of this country and world still slow to embrace a rapidly growing movement, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego made it clear where they stand with an amazing exhibition of some of the major players in this art “Revolucion”. Not only did the city open up their public spaces to the artists (albeit still with some naysayers), they also […]

Streets: Os Gemeos for Viva La Revolucion

It seems like every time there is an important museum exhibiton, art festival or fair, Os Gemeos is sure to be invited to participate. Who can blame the curators though as the twins never cease to amaze with their indoor and outdoor works featuring colorful and imaginative characters showcasing the vigor and lifeblood of Brazil? Coming off their work for Fame Fest ’10, Otavio and Gustavo join the list of who’s who in street art in sunny San Diego for the epic “Viva La Revolucion” […]

Fame Fest ’10: Os Gemeos

Vhils, Swoon, and Ben Wolf have already all left their mark in Grottaglie for this years Fame Festival. Looks like next up on the list are Os Gemeos as they they took in the sights of the Italian town as well as left some sights of their own. Not sure if this stop in their hectic travel schedule was before or after their efforts in Lisbon… More pics after the jump…

Teaser: “Viva La Revolucion” @ MCASD

Streets: Os Gemeos, Blu, and Sam3 (Lisbon)

It looks like the mural collaboration between Os Gemeos and Blu that we showed you a couple days ago has been completed. Check out the awesome man with the crown of oil company logos sucking the world dry painted by Blu, pretty timely considering what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico. Take a look at more pics after the jump including a bonus mural by Sam3 on a neighboring building.

Streets: Os Gemeos & Blu (Lisbon)

Since Os Gemeos was in town for their exhibition (covered) at the Lisbon’s Museu Colecção Berardo, it was a foregone conclusion that they would leave their mark inside and out. Here you can see them teaming up with another high-flying street act, the prolific Blu from Italy. Hopefully we’ll see more photos of the completed piece soon… Discuss Os Gemeos here. Discuss Blu here.

Openings: Os Gemeos – “Pra quem mora lá, o céu é lá” @ Museu Colecção Berardo

Os Gemeos unleashed their latest show across the Atlantic in Portugal named “Pra quem mora lá, o céu é lá” (To who lives there, heaven is there). From the looks of this exhibition hosted in Lisbon’s Museu Colecção Berardo, it appears to be as heavenly as the title indicates. Fans of the twins from São Paulo were greeted with another indoor haven for street art and music lovers. From floor to ceiling, Os Gemeos worked to paint and install interactive sculptures, installations and paintings that hooked […]
