Our Portuguese artist Vhils has left his mark in San Diego. He’s done new pieces for the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego exhibition “Viva La Revolucion”, alongside other big names like Swoon, Gémeos, Faile and many others.
Clearly inspired by Banksy, this stencil just showed up near the Sta Apolónia station in Lisboa.
Artist unknown.
Adres just left a new piece out on the highway. Pic inside and location.
Guilharte just kicked off today and will be an ongoing platform of several artistic representations until the 20th of June. There is already a considerable number of artists for the line up of a mural painting, from which these are involved: Devir, Dheo, Dirty Cop, Feijão, Frame, Glam & Nurea, Hesp tiago, Jope, Maria Imaginário (delicious), Monster, On TSK, Ram, Skran, Smiek, Toots, Van & Bolastik.
Now this might not be a new image around the blog, but the message it comes with is new. Adres did this piece for a while, but some days ago someone left this note next to the piece. Jump inside to read it:
Vhils has already started to work on his new pieces in Italy for the new edition of the Fame Festival. Bigger pic inside.

While running around Bairro Alto last week with a friend, we came across a small stencil from Monsieur Chat, to which we quickly said “hum, don’t think it’s true. There’s Banksy’s small rats here too, must be a copy”. Turns out, Monsieur Chat has been in Lisboa and there’s video to prove it. He hit’d Parque Mayer with what is truly his signature, big yellow cats smiling back to the people. Check the video inside. Just wished I’d knew he was around…
On the very same week that I found out all Portuguese tiles from my local library had been stolen (they had been taken down for restoration, but have been stolen in the meanwhile), I also came across this project that turns the concrete wall left abandoned, and revisits it in the form of stencil, filling the gaps in between that our Portuguese heritage hasn’t been able to. Recuperarte (Recover+Art) is the name of the project.
