A big THANK YOU! to everyone who came to see Ruas de Sao Paulo: A Survey of Brazilian Street Art. The exhibition closed this past Saturday, March 17th. We wanted to send if off in style and share these great shots from the installation. As you can see, it was quite an experience.
ENJOY!
We treated the Brazilians to some authentic NYC Style pizza.
After shopping for spray paint and supplies, everyone gets down to work..
Boleta begins his CRAZY mural…
On the other side of the room, Zezao starts to paint…
Zezao and Boleta did an excellent job incorporating their different styles into one almost seamless installation.
In the front gallery, Highraff and Onesto focus on their installations.
Onesto putting the finishing touches on his figures. He explained that these characters were pixadores. In Sao Paulo, artists climb on eachother’s shoulders to create pixacao in high places.

Highraff stands back and contemplates his next move.
Fefe starts wheatpasting letters to create her fantastic monster that wrapped around the back hallway.

In our new exhibition space, Kboco and Titi Freak layout their pieces before painting.
Kboco drew his Monkey on the plasitc sheeting warning us to keep out
Titi Freak takes a break to pose for the camera.
After a few hours of spray painting in the poorly ventilated gallery, the fumes were starting to get to Zezao.
The NYFD came to check the fume levels from the spray paint.
Jonathan spoke with them and assured them that we were preparing for an exhibit.
After a long week of work we had our opening, which was totally worth all the effort. Photos of the finished installation can be seen on our website in the past exhibitions section.
