Remarkable: Entire Boeing plane painted in colorful graffiti
Os Gemeos (Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo) on Boeing 737 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 2014
In 2014, Brazilian artist duo and twins Os Gemeos painted the whole exterior of a Boeing 737, which then transported the Brazilian national football group from city to city for the 2014 FIFA world cup.
Mural plays with quotes by Nipsey Hussle
In March, 2013 Swiss-Bolivian artist Luciano Calderon painted a site-specific, indoor mural in Belo Horizonte, Brasil. The painting was executed for the Verão Arte Contemporânea Festival inside Sesc Palladium.
Calderon used two quotes by African American artists, the first being Tina Turner’s What’s love got to with it which is an ironic comment about the relationship of art and money. In contemporary times how much does love actually have in common with art?
Nipsey Hussle’s Don’t holla at me unless money is the topic alludes to the people working solely for money, some of those being business men using the very center where the mural is painted.
Calderon’s upcoming shows are a major show Centro Cultural de España en La Paz, one of Bolivia’s most exciting art spaces, and a group show at the State Museum for Ethnology in Munich.
