BROOKLYN///STREET LIFE///ON THE WALL WITH OS GEMEOS…

July 3rd, 2008

Sao Paulo spirit on the street in the BK…

What? You thought “Too Far Too Close” at DEITCH PROJECTS was the only art show by Brasilian twins OS GEMEOS up in the NYC right now? Grinding away in the gallery for weeks before last weekend’s opening, the bad boys of Sao Paulo still found time to bomb the walls of Brooklyn and leave a little street-level exhibit for the masses on the walls of the Power Brake Service shop on the corner of Clay and McGuinness in Greenpoint. They even took the time to glue fabulous pink sequins onto the shirt of one of thier characters. HAVE A LOOK: Read the rest of this entry »

NYC///OPENINGS///OS GEMEOS’ “TOO FAR TOO CLOSE” AT DEITCH PROJECTS…

July 1st, 2008

Expecting mass attendance, Jeffrey Deitch hired a crack security team…

The two-headed Brasilian art phenomenon that is OS GEMEOS (Portuguese for “The Twins“) brought their fantastic art circus to NYC when their phenomenal show of new work “Too Far Too Close” opened at DEITCH PROJECTS as the art party of the summer on Saturday nite. In it, identical 24-year-old twin brothers GUSTAVO and OTAVIO PANDOLFO have created a sprawling cityscape within superstar downtown art dealer JEFFREY DEITCH’s cavernous Wooster Street space. Mirroring their psychedelic storybook street paintings that cover the city walls of their native Sao Paulo, Os Gemeos have expanded upon a smaller show of non-commercial work first debuted at the Museum Het Domein in the Netherlands in late 2007 and constructed an immersive dream world of paintings, sculpture, and large-scale installations that transport viewers from the jaded streets of SoHo to the deepest reaches of their prodigious imagination.

MADRID///OS GEMEOS IN DREAMLAND…

February 19th, 2008

The boomin system. Sorry, no reggaeton allowed…

Even if identical twin brothers Otavio and Augusto Pandolfo—otherwise known as the Brasilian art duo OS GEMEOS (“the twins”)—threw a new art show every month, we still wouldn’t get tired of taking in their amazing fantasy slumscapes. This time, the Brothers P have landed in Madrid at PILAR PARRA & ROMERO GALLERY where they launched their new solo show, “Sonhei Que Tinha Sonhado” (”I dreamed that I had dreamed”) a full-scale multimedia installation of makeshift building facades and fantastic soundscapes last week. What’s perhaps even more impressive than the sheer consistency of the brother’s art is their daunting drive which pushes them to create art on nearly anything they can get their hands on at a superhuman rate. Simply put, few people in the art world are operating at this level, take notes, people. HAVE A LOOK: Read the rest of this entry »
