INVADING SPACE

Enivo´s working at his share of the Uni-versos show and what was his inspiration on these works. 

ENIVO  

He made a vital pact with painting and its essence by the age of 12 through his first experience with graffiti in 1998. Since then he’s been marking the streets with his art, like a stamp of poetry, expressing his own universe and reaching for a shape´s definition.

Which led him to develop a timeless energy field, portrayed by extra-physical beings, where evolution exempts technology and focus in the spiritual growth through meditation, making possible the physical and mental displacement from this time and space to another one beyond our own.                   

 JERRY

He’s known as an ‘old school’ artist and belongs to the second generation of graffiti. 

And in his long trajectory, mostly in the south region of Sao Paulo, he believes in his educational responsibility and justifies the graffiti as a transformation. And by doing so influencing a new generation that acts with strenght in the region.

His paintings shows the pleasent harmony between elements of the essence and his imaginary , where the fragments are portrayed through portals watched by a guardian. 

Associating this ludic universe with the enviroment that surrounds him.

He´s one of my favorite artists here… and he´s too modest to admit that he is a legend around here ! He has everyone´s respect and if you ever have the chance to meet him, you´ll be meeting one of the nicest and kindest people in the whole world.

No wonder why his works are more than beautifull to look at…it´s just a beautifull feeling you get looking at them. Jerry´s work is pure love.

Coming up …Uni-versos oppening night !

After many hours of batching, and many many more hours uploading, the 1,000 cans are up in their entirety on our Flickr pag, right here.ENJOY.

Ending in 719, with multiple sculpture and canvas pieces which make up the rest of the collection, the whole thing SHOULD be up there. Its also in reverse order starting last and ending with no.1. But we’ll be fixing that when its shown on the official website which we’re starting on this week.

If you come across any missing pieces or fuck ups with the order of the can’s drop me a line.

So this weekend I went to OsGemeos’ hood (Cambuci) , which is such a magical place to me and I´ve been wanting to share it with the Nice Produce crew and viewers since I started posting here…so it´s my pleasure to take you on a tour around the streets where the geniuses lives.

 First I saw this old one ….pay attention to the yellow background with these faces on it..so beautiful!

Next to it there was a NIGGAZ’s graffiti, he´s a legend around here, painted like no one before or after him ever did ! He´s no longer here, in this place we are…he´s in a much better one (R.I.P. master) !

Then I got to the school they painted with other artists like ISE and Nunca.

And I just stood there with my mouth oppened even though that was the second time I saw it I just couldn´t believe my eyes…again!

  another detail.

The other part of the wall by OsGemeos.

My personal favorite, NINA (who also lives there) .

One of my favorite walls, the first graffiti from Nina  I´ve ever seen which I imediately fell in love with, and also the day I discovered Os Gemeos too.     

I was a bit lost…and couldn´t remember where was the street where they actually lived…until I saw this on the corner :

NINA

…and this right beside it:

Across the street…

I just loved how the ‘pixos’ works as a frame to these one.

I was so glad to be there…to know a piece of the enviroment that surronds them which I´m pretty sure has to do a lot with the paintings they do.

São Paulo has a very strong street culture and they became a huge refference in that sense and they keep making it stonger here and around the globe .

  BRASIL

Then I walk ahead a little more and from the corner I could see this wonderfull wall with this so amazing colors…

Take a look at the whale on detail…the eye is so impressive.

I couldn´t get a photo of the whole wall but this is part of the mural .

A close up of the face and another  pretty detail.

Another great wall I found there…a new one.

This letter is dope.

THE character.

…and guess who ?!

I´m just a fanatic for these big headed girls with big round eyes … Nina rocks!

Other treasures around the Cambuci neighborhood.

 This is an old and very known wall by the twin brothers.

On close up.

Zoomed up view.

Do you still wonder WHY they´re the best graffiti artists in the world ?! DO YOU ?

Sorry for the enormous post…but hopefully I made your time worth to be wasted here with me.

KEEP IT ORIGINAL !

Installation at Uniform.

XYNXØS THE FRESHMAKER

For those of you outside of Australia, Semi Permanent is an annual design festival which features guest speakers from the spectrum of the worlds professional creative community and a coming together of Australia’s designers and artists for one hell of a party.

The word is, 1,000 can’s has been included as a side event for this years conference. Big ups to AJ and the boys at DIK for the help.

Also in 1,000 can news, i’ve finished the batches to recolor, clean and resize the photos of the entire show, all that waits now is for me to upload the collection to flickr, from where it will be used at the guts for the onethousandcans.com online gallery.

I’ll post the flickr link once its up, would really appreciate it if any crew could check it out and let me know if theres any glaring errors in it, i’ve checked it but there’s 1,000 of the suckers and i’m sure somthings slipped past my vigil.

Until then here’s two desktops fromt he 1,000 can show, which we posted as part of the Grassroots newsletter but i don’t think i put on the blogs.

PEACE

Theres magic in the air in Sydney over the next few weeks.

Starting with Tall Oaks by Reka at The Heights this weekend.
