Grandiose Biennale of Fine Graffiti Arts - Graffiti Fine Art Biennial - opened in the Brazilian metropolis of São Paulo on January 22, 2013. The Biennale is being held for the second time, and until February 24, during the festival, leading street art representatives from eleven countries of the world will be able to show off their skills to each other.
One of the most famous graffiti artists in Brazil, Eduardo Kobra, already on the first day of the Biennale created a real work of art in the financial center of Sao Paulo and throughout Latin America - the Avenida Paulista area. Large-scale and spectacular graffiti dedicated to the memory of the great Latin American architect Oscar Niemeyerwho passed away on December 5, 2012 at the age of 104.
Like other works created in the framework of the Biennale, the graffiti of the Canadian Shalak on display at the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture. The festival brought together over fifty young artists from different countries and styles.
"Geometric cat" - so one could probably call this bright, attention-grabbing work of the Brazilian street artist Minhau … A wooden sculpture, painted with all the colors of the rainbow, in honor of the beginning of the Biennale, was installed near the main entrance of the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture.
All over the world every now and then new biennials and triennials of contemporary art are starting to work - like Kievskaya, which was first held in 2012. Compared to many other art festivals, the São Paulo Graffiti Festival does not try to sound too "serious" and "highbrow". The art that is presented here will be understandable to any interested person. At the same time, it is not at all primitive: in the works of representatives of modern street art, you can see the perfect balance between artistic value and the ability to reach out to the common viewer. The number of the public, which brings down the shaft to look at the works of talented graffiti artists, convincingly proves this.
