Os Gemeos

Category: Graffiti Artists by fatcap @ 5:28 am

Do you know Os Gêmeos? Famous twin brothers from the brazilian street art scene. We already showed you some of their works here and here.

Os Gêmeos are graffiti and street art artist identical twin brothers from São Paulo, Brazil. They started painting graffiti in 1987 and gradually became a main influence in the local scene, helping to define Brazil’s own style. Their work often features yellow-skinned characters, but is otherwise diverse and ranges from tags to complicated murals. Subjects range from family portraits to commentary on São Paulo’s social and political circumstances, as well as Brazilian folklore. Their graffiti style was influenced by both traditional hip hop style and the Brazilian pichação movement.
