You definitely don’t wanna miss the upcoming show by Brazilian superstar artist duo, Os Gemeos. They’re the twins in Bomb It that manage to cleverly talk their way out of police intervention while painting an overpass in Sao Paulo.

Os Gemeos: Far Too Close
June 28, 2008 — August 09, 2008
Dietch Projects
18 Wooster Street, New York

“Os Gemeos (pronounced “ose zhe’-mee-ose.”) are two artists from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo were born in 1974, identical twin brothers whose pseudonym, Os Gemeos, translates to “the twins” in Portuguese. In addition to their incredible works created on the streets of Sao Paulo, the twins have in recent years exhibited their art in museums all over the world.

In Too Far Too Close, they will be transforming the gallery into a fantastical cityscape with houses, doors, and passageways, all brought to life with their signature style of imagery. Building upon a group of artworks created for the Museum Het Domein in the Netherlands, this show features new paintings, sculpture, and installation bringing all the magical moments of their work together in one tightly knit dream world of an exhibition.”

The Tate Modern in London is having a street art exhibition which includes artists interviewed in BOMB IT. Check it out:

In the first commission to use the iconic river façade of Tate Modern,
the gallery will present the work of six internationally acclaimed
artists, whose work is intricately linked to the urban environment.
Street Art at Tate Modern, sponsored by Nissan QASHQAI, opens on 23
May and is the first major public museum display of Street Art in
London.

All six artists are represented in major collections around the world
and regularly shown in gallery exhibitions and biennales but their
work began in public urban spaces and remains indebted to Street Art
and graffiti traditions. The artists are: Blu from Bologna, Italy; the
artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France;
Nunca and Os Gemeos, both from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from
Barcelona, Spain.
