These last works from Paulo Arraiano aka YUP and Leonor Morais were done in the Island of Açores last week. If you’re far away from the island as is my case, then jump inside to get a taste of what must have been an amazing journey. Açores is on top of my “to go” list.
Seen in the Square of Camões Lisboa, this little robot showed up one of these nights in plain sight. You can check more pics inside from this love machine, a spray painted television similar to a thank. Artist Love War.
This project has just recently caught my attention, specially due to the fact that Lisboa is in the same state.
Porto Abandonado has an interesting take on the problem of the city.
And this is why I love the internets. If you get it right, people will engage and help you out as it happened yesterday when someone reached to me with a link to the making of that beautiful tile piece in Lisboa. Step inside to see the video, and hopefully one of you will recognize the artist and let us know more about him. Plus, tomorrow Lisa Random will have another piece from this artist, so stay tuned!
“When the new pixel art intersects with the ancient art of tile the result is the PIXELEJO.” It seems like the Portuguese tile is appearing everywhere. I’ve left you with Recuperarte project before, and I’ll leave you with yet another amazing one where “Type meets Tiles” from Ana Areias. But for now, here’s the latest Pixelejo works on the streets of Lisboa.
On what has to be one of the most awaited projects for the street-art enthusiasts to show up in Lisboa, FAILE came to blow everyone’s expectations, including mine. For over a week, I had the privilege to follow the process of building from up close. I couldn’t be more happy to know that people are walking and stopping by to see what it’s all about. I know there’s some pics out already, but this post had to be written with some time and only after getting back a couple of times and seeing peoples reactions. So, jump inside for extended and uncut version of the temple.
Ok, I know I haven’t been active on the blog, but that’s due to the amount of work going around at the time. But what better way to come back if not with the wonderful news from FAILE. The guys are working hard from day to night, and I’ve had the pleasure to meet them and the team helping them on this massive project. Talking with the guys, I’ve learned they had been to Portugal twice, and have done some research for this project. I can surely say these are some of the coolest artists I’ve had the pleasure to have met and chat with. Expect a whole different take to their poster and stencils artworks, and I can’t advance anything without being too revealing. It’s gona be massive! For those who don’t remember, FAILE are some of the selected artists from the PortugalArte ‘10 event starting this Friday 16th.
A brilliantly executed piece in Anjos by collective CC, for a typical view of what’s seen on the streets of Lisboa. If you don’t know, Securitas is a security/vigilante company and this is exactly what these ladies do all day on the porches of the windows. They patrol the streets, one phone away to call the police. I remember I used to play soccer on the street, and this lady always called the police whenever we were there. Of course by the third day she did that again, police didn’t bother anymore.
Use your calls wisely “senioritas”.
Vhils has been working on several pieces in LA with JR as seen here before, but that was just a preparation for the group show from Lazarides entitled “Eurotrash” that just took place yesterday night, and Unurth blog was there to document it. Alongside Vhils were international JR, Conor Harrington and Antony Micallef.
