The OS GEMEOS street art plane for the Brazilian football team

We need transportation for the players of the 2014 World Cup football, don’t we? How about a mean that will definitely stand out of the crowd and make us the coolest football team out there?

Well, as if the Brazilian team needed to become even cooler, they actually did. Their team’s airplane for the World Cup follows the street art theme that Brazil authorities have been using to get the word out there. They asked street artists Os Gêmeos to come up with some ideas and give their plane a face lift.

The result, an unmissable aircraft which took over 1,200 cans of spray paint to be done.

Four cities at Black Rat Press gallery

In 2007 the global population living in urban environments passed the halfway mark, and that trend is accelerating. As cities become bigger and denser, and within the rigid structures of a mass-market society, truly meaningful personal interactions become increasingly elusive. Read the full preview here.

PS: “Where are the Banksy shots” you may think. Well, I thought the pieces from the three artists above were a lot more worth being photograph than his so I did not snap any but I am sure you have seem them all already anyway.

Four cities at Black Rat Press

In 2007 the global population living in urban environments passed the halfway mark, and that trend is accelerating. As cities become bigger and denser, and within the rigid structures of a mass-market society, truly meaningful personal interactions become increasingly elusive. The anonymising effects of scale and excess on the actor in the postmodern city can lead to a shared sense of social isolation.

In Four Cities Black Rat Projects will take a look at the four artists whose experience of urbanity propelled them to create within their environment in similar ways. With new works by represented artist Swoon, and secondary market works sourced from Os Gemeos, Banksy and Shepard Fairey, BRP will map the parameters of the street art movement across continents through the voices that emerged simultaneously as the strongest of their respective city scenes.
