“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.

The WOOL festival has finished it’s first event, with the ARM collective spending some days in Covilhã painting night and day. Locals would stop by everyday to enjoy the developing of the main piece. They have taken in to account the surrounding church when painting their main piece, and that is visible by the illusion of tiles (Portuguese azulejo) used to blend in with the church’s near façade. Along the side walls, there’s also visible some small annotations, lost like a treasure map with small words of sayings and ways to pronounce words in Covilhã. All in all, probably the best ARM collective work I’ve seen so far and the best way to kick off a festival. All pics have been taken by Pedro Seixo Rodrigues, one of the mentors of the project. Enjoy…

ARM collective travelled to Casablanca, Marrocos and left a big piece done with the spray cans they could find in the local shops. Took them a day to complete.

The ARM collective was also part of the Walk & Talk, and have left another excellent piece from their story in the walls of Açores. The mix between Mar & Ram have been evolving in the past years, and the result can easily be seen in these new works either indoors or outdoors. Great job!

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.

ARM are Mar & Ram collective, a duo that’s part of the Eastpak Portugal team for some time now, have been working on a wall for the warehouse of the brand, and Hugo Almeida has made a great video of it.

RAM is presenting the smart. studio. as part of a unique graffiti artwork, according to the producers of the video. Inside, you can see a small introduction to RAM’s work as well as see him painting for this episode.

ARM collective showed up last weekend at FIL to spray paint some areas, while dj battles and skate rides where happening at the same time.

The Underdogs, the latest project from Vhils and Vera Cortês just opened doors last Friday night, with a huge crowd of people inside and outside for the event. Snapping some pics with so many people inside was hard, so a second visit was surely in need. In case you didn’t show up for the event, you still have until January to do it, otherwise, just jump right in and check some pics from the night, as well as some of the artworks that can be found inside.
