Lisbon and the Urban Art

Lisbon and the Urban Art

Lisbon is an open-air gallery filled with works of art.

Known for its beautiful tile-filled facades, small tile panels and typical Portuguese cobblestone, Lisbon is now famous for its Urban art.

Several artistic interventions are appearing every day around the city, and many others are disappearing.

It's worth taking a few hours of your day and dedicating yourself to a Steet Art Tour!

Pass By: Terminal de passageiros de Santa Apolonia, Avenida Infante Dom Henrique Armazem B, Loja 8, Lisbon 1900-264 Portugal

St. Apollonia's Causeway

Pichi & Avo Statue - Pichi & Avo is the Spanish duo who likes to put it all together in the same way: classic art and graffiti defiance. And that is exactly what they did on the latest mural in Lisbon, in Calçada de Santa Apolónia. They added a lot of color to the recipe and the result is what you can see here - a large sculptural figure overlaid with infinite tags on the side of the building. Pichi & Avo's trait is known for the coarse brush strokes, which meet with a more careful design. The mural was made as part of the “Versus” exhibition at the Underdogs Gallery.
