Urban Stage Sao Paulo sponsored by Smart is the natural evolution of Barcelona’s International Outdoor Urban Art Exhibition.

Art collective and magazine Rojo asked the city’s Urban Development Department to allow them to help spice up drab concrete structures across the city, the project to paint 11 concrete structures including air-vent columns and blank walls across São Paulo over a few weeks.

Selected artists create site specific architecture-color projects on massive concrete elements in different locations of the city were traffic is very dense, with the objective to make them more colorful. Nuria, Tony de Marco/Superblast and Eltono got on scaffolds to paint, while MWM Graphics, Ovni and Tofer scaled and drew their work but handed it off to collaborators to carry out.

These pieces will remain as part of the city’s permanent urban landscape.
