Hot and Fresh: the women, weather, and now the art. The artists of Brazil feed off each other and the multiple cultures within. Local art is digested in a simple stroll down la rue, graff and street art being a huge part of, yet not limited to, the scene and it's bleeding into the rest of the world.
"In my opinion, Brazil is still in an experimental phase of art." (Brazilian artist, Dimas Forchetti, in an interview at http://thecitrusreport.com/story/dimas_forchetti_1627). In an experiment there are so many variables, which lend to the many art forms produced there that "break traditional patterns".
Sao Paulo is the birth place, home and "gallery of the sky" for Pixacao, what looks like the common, everyday tag of early graffiti, but takes on whole new heights and dimensions, literally.
Art is a way of life and photography is a form of expression for the boys of Lost Art(http://lost.art.br/main.htm). Art, not unlike life, is deep, dark, beautiful, racy and technical, sometimes to the point where commercialism can inhibit the expression an artist attempts to communicate. Taking the commercial aspect into their own hands by creating this website, these guys are able to experiment, produce and promote different aspects of art, that many young people today are open to.
Taste life and see the world through the eyes of Brazil.
