It´s Carnival time in Brazil !

Which means: 4 days to party hard,watch parades and dance ‘samba’ !

…or for these 2 great guys and amazing artists called Nick & Musta is to enjoy a sunny day, drink as many beers as we can and paint until the sun comes down ! 

So they invited me into their hood … to see a project they did with their friends, last year, that consisted in dividing a huge wall in 8  panels painted only in black, white and red.

And here are some shots of the badass wall they did !

Big up to all the TK and Vip Crew’s members! 

And everyone else who joined them to make this amazing project becomes such a dope wall !   

Coming up next…Musta & Nick in action !

Artists from the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in NYC came to Brazil for an exhibition that’s happening at Choque Cultural Gallery in Sao Paulo.

It was a ‘big deal’ because is not everyday that we have here such names as :

-Shepard Fairey-

The one that I was eagering to see the most, after hearing so much about his work and his OBEY! Giant campaign, which makes so much sense to me…”The medium is the message.” !

-Tim Biskup-

Nice work with the fluorescents colors. It even made my eyes get a little crazed.

-BaseMan- 

His characters reminds me of my childhood.

-Jeff Soto-

Who were my personal favorite of the expo. And had other great canvas like the one with ‘egg-shaped-spacey-monsters’  and the panaromic one.

-MARS1-

The closest you got the furthest you went.

-AJ Fosik-

His wood pieces were amazing. 

And among them some brazilians made me proud with their great art, like JACA. 

And his funny ‘world’.

 More photos of the expo and what went down there, here!

So, I went there…and I saw some great paintings :

                      by Leo.

But talking about ‘STREET art’ the one who really caught my eyes was the brazilian artist called  BUGRE :                          

“Sputum” …if you’re wondering about the name: here is why!  

 And “Tamires”.  The skull detail on the shoulder is great!

He really did an amazing job taking his street’s style to the canvas.

Just so you know what I´m talking about:

Bugre at the streets of Sao Paulo.

 …now you see what I mean!

Brazilian Street Artists and all the STREET artists out there: Keep it *REAL!

One more photo that I just got today of that last graffiti updated!

(Thanks mr. fran!)

Yesterday I went to a cultural center for the young community , which had an exhibition of URBAN TIPOGRAPHY , with walls painted by some of our best graffiti writers :

Done by NEM – A master in “dope letters” style !

Done by ICONE – A piece lover ! Who organized the whole thing.

This project had the purpose of introducing Urban Tipography such as 3d , wild style , semi wild style(piece) , bomb , grapixo e pixação ( these last 2 are originally from Brazil/SP).

Done by DOES – his legendary wild style !

Done by GAFI – Nice 3D style !

Done by BRAVOS – Grapixo :born in Brazil , it  says : ” Sao Paulo is like that…” !

 Yes, it is ! …and we´re proud of it!

Nice to meet all the Nice People out there !!!
I´m Miss G from Brazil, Sao Paulo, which is the hometown of such ‘legends’ as OsGÊMEOS. I´d like use my time on Grass Roots to introduce you all to the other amaaaazing up and coming artists that we have here and create a bridge between the two cultures.

*KEEP IT UP…and *NICE !!!

 My back. From the wall to the skin.

NINA on the streets of Sao Paulo.

…just a taste of…BRAZIL.

More to come.
