“Beyond walls / Além paredes” has been a huge success since it’s debut. The group show, currently still showing at António Prates Gallery until May 12th, has invited 11 urban artists to exhibit their work. As one of the artists myself (Target), was a pleasure to have worked with people I admire for long time. Go inside to find the pieces of Costah, Dalaiama, EL ST, ±MaisMenos±, Mar, Maria Imaginário, Pantonio, Ram, Robert Proch, Target & YUP/Paulo Arraiano, as well as photos from the night and the wonderful video shot by André Matos Cardoso with production by Homem Bala.

Over the past month, Add fuel to the fire and YUP/Paulo Arraiano headed over to London to work on their new collective show at Pure Evil. Found myself some time to check the opening, and it was a great moment all around. Got to meet really nice people, as Pure Evil himself, Pauli Frames who framed the artworks done for the show, and Enable Plus Plus the man who put this show together. Here are some pics of the night.

Artists Diogo Machado aka Add fuel to the fire and Paulo Arraiano aka YUP are already in London working on their show, a combination of styles from both artists to be fused in an exhibition at Pure Evil gallery. So if you’re in London next week, don’t miss the opening. Check flyer and teasers inside.

GrafikWalls (mentioned here) made a pop up show on October 1st. Was nice to catch up with some of the artists, and to take a look in person of how the project was going. Catch a sample of what happened on that day.

GrafikWalls is a new project that aims to gather a collective of urban artists and with them to conceive author wallpapers for home decoration thanks to the collaboration with Pedro & Osório, by the mind of João Rei. You can check some samples inside, as well as take the date for the official presentation coming next week at Montana Shop.

Paulo Arraiano aka YUP has recently made a trip to Stockholm, Sweden where he was able to conceive an indoors show, an outdoor piece and a beautiful performance with model Elena Pådrag Wolay. Check all of this inside. (Note: videos are failing miserably to embed, so check the links to vimeo)

ARTUR is fully up and running, and lot’s of artwork is to be discovered in the city of Lagos. I couldn’t make it down to Lagos, which I was really wanting to, but luckily I got to meet Alexandros Vasmoulakis in Lisboa just before he had left for another trip. Since I didn’t made it to Lagos, Rodrigo did a wonderful job on snapping the pics that you can find inside. There’s some exclusive photos just for you right here, and some others over at the official blog, so give them a visit as well.

There’s now a video online, with the stories behind each intervention from the 5 artists at Chão do Loureiro, Nomen, MAR, Miguel Januário aka Kiss My Walls, Paulo Arraiano aka YUP and RAM.

A project from EMEL and the City Council (CML) took 5 urban artists to decorate a new parking lot in Lisboa. Miguel Januário aka KissMyWalls, Mar, Nomen, Paulo Arraiano & Ram were the selected artists to act on the space. A big thanks to Duarte Lourenço, the photographer in charge of this post.

The project ARTUR is already undergoing and with almost daily updates of what’s going on. The project has some catchy names, from Portuguese to international artists. Get a glimpse of the action inside the old jail complex in Lagos inside. More pics coming in the next days.
