Graffitti = drawings or inscriptions made on

walls or other surfaces along busy roads,tube

stations,housing estates,quiet neighbourhoods

and even cemeteries.It is also named Mural Art.

Do you like this kind of art ? Have you ever photo-

-graphed any graffitti which called your attention

while you were walking downtown ?

Graffitti artists choose the walls and surfa-

-ces very well.Their murals are made with

spray paint opposing to easel painting .This

technique has a social character integrating

itself to the surface of the wall with decorative

purpose,illustrative or even didatic aim.

In Brazil,Mural Art appeared late in 1970 main-

-ly in São Paulo areas.The artists wanted to show

their art out of museums,art galleries or any tradi-

-tional form of exposure.The mural artists believed

these institutions were locking up art ,restricting

and limiting it to a certain social class.

Have you ever seen any of these brazilian artists'

murals before ? Binho Ribeiro,Speto,OSGEMEOS,

Titi Freak,Mulheres Barbadas? They are all well-

-known graffitti painters in Brazil and abroad too.
