It's All About the Graffiti Art in Rio, Not Bikini Thongs
If you're Brazilian, or, a Cariocaphile (a Rio lover) then you've already started the countdown for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Back in October, we were down in the "Marvelous City" and right smack in the middle of Copacabana Beach with the rest of Rio for the world announcement. Don't worry, our writer Shira Levine cased the joint to check things out for those of you considering getting your Olympic Games on in, uhhh six and half years. Questions or suggestions? Let us know.
Brazil is home to two legit and exciting graffiti artists. Meet Os Gemeos which is Portuguese for The Twins.
The artists: Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo are in fact twins and responsible for the mural on the corner of Houston and Bowery streets in Manhattan, that replaced the now whitewashed famed Keith Haring mural.
While in Rio we figured their body of work would flank/litter/cover the walls of the "City of God." Alas, it wasn't but we still discovered some pretty good city art. While we intended to do a photo series on the rainbow of Brazilian booties in Brazilian bikinis, the weather wasn't quite beach weather while we were there.
So check out our collection of Brazilian graffiti. Again, not exactly beach porn, but a body of work nonetheless.
