Urban(R)Evolution Exhibition in Lisbon, Portugal, by Tobi187 on Jun 24, 2023 16:00:34 GMT 1, While others headed to Glasgow, my family and I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Lisbon. We had the  opportunity to explore the Urban(R)Evolution exhibition and attend the grand opening of Shepard Fairy's captivating showcase, "Printed Matters: While Supplies Last," held at Underdog gallery. To our delight, Shepard Fairy himself graced the event, generously autographing numerous items and engaging in lively conversations with everyone present in the venue.


Not sure if this has been mentioned here before (could not find anything) but the Urban(R)Evolution show is really amazing. Basically a lighter version of Beyond the Streets with works by the likes of:

Urban(R)Evolution chronicles the fascinating development of urban art, beginning with its early stages as tags, graffiti, and subway pieces, progressing through the influential middle period and, eventually, giving rise to street art. The art form originated with spray paint and wheat paste but quickly evolved to incorporate various techniques from around the globe. The explosive combination of graffiti, breakdancing, and rapping led to a worldwide eruption of popular expression.

Specially the works by VHILS blew my mind (see a few images below).
