OS Gemeos ๐ง๐ท Sรฃo Paulo Graffiti โข Brazil Street Art, by gozgoz on Jan 25, 2010 19:59:56 GMT 1, On way back to the airport now...I just went for it. I've no idea who any of the banksy forum members are and no one came up to say hi so I must either look terrifying or smell bad?
It was amazing. Simply amazing. I can't say they broke any new grounds but who cares, yellow people in fantastical dreamlike scenarios are what they do best and by god did they do it well... A lot of sequins were used this time as well on certain pieces. I didn't ask for the prices but I know a piece on a 1m tall wood went for 38k euros so I shudder to think what the 2m large canvases go for. They really must be seen in the flesh to be appreciated... One piece of this boy(?) standing on a little commuter train - not sure if anyone else thought this but it was almost three dimensional I had to go close to make sure that there was nothing sticking out. Insane....
The twins and their brother also came down later, I bumped into them as I was rushing to the train station and only managed to say a quik hi as I had a plane to catch...
There's a book inside of os gemeos printed by deutshce bank as well - gezus... They really are playing with the big boys now huh?
If anyone goes down, I recommend eating at the tratorria milanese at santa marta - best risotto e ossobucco ever!
No prints or anything affordable (well to me at least) for sale as far as I know?

Manty - sorry I failed u but I'm about 165m tall and they wouldn't let me on the train with a canvas that size and those bureaucratic italians won't let me train surf. Damn those italian train officials huh?

There were no vast huge installations this time round. Altho there is a small room with wood pieces on the wall and on one door/wall there was something which really caught my eye..... And probably the first non yellow / black and white painting I've seen of theirs - a really really poignant almost oil like painting of a vast vast angry ocean taking up half the wall... And a very very small palm sized osgemeos character climbing down (or up?) a ladder disappearing into the clouds looking down with anticipation and anxiety.... It was beautiful... I guess it really stood out because it was so different.
Its not a huge show like the one in sao paolo. Its a tiny show but very intimate and sweet.

Hopefully someone will post some better pics up shortly on a blog or website.
I would love to see some of the detail in the pieces..nonetheless..even with the low res images - the show looks great!
Like volvic I had to scrap my scheduled trip as I came down ill...hopefully catch it before it closes in March.

If the pricing quoted earlier in this thread stating that originals start at 25k Euro is correct, then there is plenty available I'm sure.

But that being said, the canvases are over 2m big i think. Iwould have no idea how it would fit into my flat!
For those who just posted, see my previous description of the preview night at the first page of this thread! Im surprised no one has posted photos of the black and white one...

OS Gemeos ๐ง๐ท Sรฃo Paulo Graffiti โข Brazil Street Art, by dotdot on Jan 27, 2010 13:09:34 GMT 1, to those who managed - thanks for both the insight and the photos. Taking photos of these guys work certainly is tricky business - you get the feeling the colours don't quite come out as well as they do in real life - do they ? I agree those on the gallery's site are not that great... am sure they've had that feedback before.
Nice to see both an evolving style and change in direction in some of the works... the world in which the people live in OSG images is not one where everything is cool... but certainly the images are ones which many of us would , given half the chance ... spend a fair few hard earned picking up.... alas the prices are not quite something I can afford ... think I'm not alone there.
The effect the images have on people is quite something unusual and special - did those who attended pick that up at all ?
