From the startingly distinctive achievements of the internationally
renowned twin-brother painters Os Gemeos to the visual powers of
the ubiquitous daredevil pichadores, Brazil's graffiti captivates
with entirely fresh ideas, techniques and messages. Whether one's
taste is for the extraordinary creative extremes generated amid
urban deprivation or for crafted murals at their most elaborate,
Graffiti Brasil offers both stunning photography and in-depth
history and insight. With graffiti worldwide becoming more
homogenized, this book is a reminder of the strengths of creative
independence and the rich fruits of cultural diversity.
Street-cool visual artist-cum-nightlife guru, Andre Saraiva, whose
life dovetails into graffiti subculture, chic jet-setting, and the
fashion world, presents an autobiographical visual diary of sorts,
a revealing window into the worlds he inhabits. Chances are that
while you ve been strolling through the streets of Paris, London,
New York, or Los Angeles, you may have caught a glimpse of Saraiva
s signature graffiti of Mr. A on a random street wall. Or you may
have seen him in the Banksy film, Exit Through the Gift Shop; spied
him in the front rows of the Paris Fashion Week shows; or seen him
at one of his many chic nightclubs. Graffiti Life is a
never-before-seen look at the artist s many spheres through which
he effortlessly moves: street culture, contemporary art, graphic
design, photography, fashion, and nightlife. This visual journey is
an interactive and striking object itself, with a vibrant pink
cloth cover, Saraiva s distinctive handwriting in foil, and seven
pop-ups he designed. It follows Saraiva s art/life trajectory, and
includes his Instagram-worthy tags on the streets of Paris;
countless silk-screened posters; paintings and sculpture; creative
collaborations with Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Colette, and more.
