We’ve announced the show last week, and now the pics are in. “Memória & Destruição” was a collective show with many artists on its line up, working on different mediums. Among the artists, were RUA collective which I’ve been following close lately. You can check the gallery pics and video inside.
One of the latest walls by Mr. Dheo to hit the streets.
SLAP has been bringing color back to abandoned buildings in the city of Setúbal. This is one of the houses he has painted lately, and he’s currently looking for people to get involved.
Just got word of this wall in Setúbal, by artist 2-Hands for the “Setúbal mais bonita” (a prettier Setúbal) project, by the city council. The bird on the wall reflects on the name of the adjacent house “Adega dos Passarinhos” (birds wine cellar), a place where Bocage used to take his mistresses back in the days.
As WOOL festival was kicking in for the 3rd event with BTOY, I headed to Covilhã again to get a glimpse of what was happening at the time. Fortunately, Uriginal was in town as well and I had the pleasure to meet him during my stay. The constant good mood with Uriginal was contagious. He also left a piece in Covilhã, and along with it I left a small video of the process.
Mr. Dheo just released a powerful new video for his latest piece “Last Ride”, painted on an scrap yard.
Montana Shop & Gallery is still holding an exhibition by Bordalo II entitled “Tornar o banal original” (Making the trivial original). Bordalo II blends in trashed objects with the paintings, where you can see behind the layers of ink a whole side of a car, a fire extinguisher or a tricycle splattered amongst vivid colors on the canvas. Check the gallery inside.
