Os Gêmeos (Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo) are twin brothers from São Paulo who started painting graffiti in the late 80s. Since then they’ve become an influential referent in the Brazilian and South American graffiti scene.

Their yellow-skinned characters seem to be inspired from their own dreams!

One of their earliest influences was Hip Hop which spread quickly in the late 80s across Brazil (they even started as break dancers). At first they emulated American New York graffiti style but suddenly they started to introduce those Brazilian elements they’ve got famous for.  They last time we saw them was @ last year’s Tate Modern “street art” exhibition. Here’s a doc of how they prepared their exhibition at Galleria Patricia Armocida in Milan:
