os gemeos

Sao Paulo graffiti artists Os Gemeos, Nina, Nunca, Finok and Zefix have created a 680 sq. meter mural in downtown Sao Paulo after the original graffiti by Os Gemeos was painted over in 2002 during Sao Paulo's "Clean City" campaign. As Nina puts it: "Up to what point is art dirt that needs to be erased through a Clean City Law? Art dirties the city? Sao Paulo has no horizon, only buildings. And they are grey, yellow or white. When we put color onto the walls, we are opening up the horizon".
