This amazingly stunningly brilliant photography is produced by the Brazilian-American artist Gabriel Mendez. His work is produced by choosing people chosen almost at random on the street to pose front of these equally amazing murals.
He was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro and recently graduated from the Parsons School of Design in New York where he resides part-time (as well as Rio) where he exhibited his own projects.
I thought this was just simply stunning so it had to be here for you to see. When something like this is imagined and explained in words to someone for the first time I can imagine the disgust on the face of one receiving it. But the execution of such a work has remarkable results, creating optical effects and illusions and really jumps out of its natual landscape.
It is the Braga’s new building for the Instituto Empresarial do Minho (Minho Enterprises Institute) in Braga, Portugal designed by architects Manuel Graça Dias and Egas José Vieira Arquitectos. See for yourself …

Coming this May 2010 at the Carmichael Gallery a selection of original works by world-renowned American artist
Keith Haring will be presented. On display in the gallery’s rooms will be over 20 original works on canvas, paper, vintage street signs and a rare vinyl blow up “Radiant Baby Doll” from Haring’s 27th birthday party in 1985.
I think some of you might recognise Keith Harings work from the early 90′s – as far as I remember, his work and copies were all over the place. He was probably produced some of the most iconic images of that time! He is now recognised as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, Carmichael Gallery is proud to present an exhibition honoring his iconic visual language in honor of the 20th anniversary of his passing.
Emerging in the Soho alternative art scene and rising to international fame in the mid-1980s, he is associated today with artists such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His large, remarkably cohesive body of work, which spans just over a decade, is distinguished by iconic, bold figures and an expressive, socially-informed aesthetic, the effortless fluidity and accessible nature of which encompass elements from and bridge the gap between subversive and mainstream contemporary art.
The exhibition opens at with a reception on Saturday, May 8 from 7 to 10pm. The exhibition will run through May 29 at the
Carmichael Gallery.
I thought I’d let you know that I was filled in with a little secret. Well actually, this is for all those whoo will be in London tomorrow. I, like you (I hope) will be spending this Bank Holiday weekeend doing something a little bit extra special to add this Internationally Celebrated weekend and with that its important for me to be prepared. And as I said a little birdy let me in on a secret but with this level of responsibility I have as your favorite blogger (tongue place firmly in cheek) I thought that I would pass on some good news for your preparation toward your planned event.
