BRAZILIAN Os Gêmeos Dolores Fortes de Barriga 2012 mixed media on panel 20 x 15 x 1 in. (50.8 x 38.1 x 2.5 cm)
Provenance Prism Gallery, Los Angeles Private Collection Exhibited Los Angeles, Prism Gallery, Os Gêmeos: Miss You, February 25 - March 24, 2012 Artist Bio Os Gêmeos Brazilian • 1974 Born Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, Os Gêmeos ('The Twins') are graffiti artists from São Paulo whose style is influenced by both Brazilian tradition and hip hop culture. Their work often features yellow-skinned figures but is otherwise diverse, ranging from interpretations of Brazilian folklore to social and political commentary. With the advent of American hip hop culture in Brazil in the late 1980s, the identical twins became interested in breakdancing. This led them to begin emulating New York graffiti art they had seen in photos before starting to consciously incorporate elements of Brazilian culture into their art and develop their own style. Their creative output graces walls across the world, from Scotland to Los Angeles, and also includes sculptures and installations. View More Works
