some of the artists that contributed to rio being one of the capitals of graffiti art have been the award winning marcelo eco, creator of a colorful character easily identifiable on many walls, joel bergner, responsible for beautiful works in cidade de deus, acme dv, carlos bobi, and bruno big. many choose to create works of their own in the city, at times to dramatic effect - some notable examples are in the providência favela, where JR, a french artist, created portraits of women who lost loved ones to violence on the walls of houses on the hill, while also installing his art on many monuments across town. following we selected a few artists that are likely to be recognized on the walls of many of rio de janeiro's neighborhoods and favelas. |
