Abstract
… HE WORKS HERE TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT THE YEARS OF NEGLECT THAT HAVE CAUSED THIS POLLUTION.
Zezao
"I DID THIS WORK BECAUSE I WANTED TO SHOW THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE CONDITIONS OF TUNNELS OF SAO PAULO, WHICH IS THIS DEGRADATION, RUBBISH EVERYTHING THAT THE RAIN BRINGS."
36 years old
IS ONE OF THE EXPONENTS OF THE NEW BRAZILIAN ABSTRACT GRAFFITI. HIS TRADEMARKS ARE WHAT HE CALLS FLOPS, ELABORATE ARABESQUES THAT ARE VISUALLY FAR FROM THE PICHACAO LETTERS THAT THEY FIRST CAME FROM.
HIS MOST STRIKING WORK NOWADAYS HAVE BEEN THE ONE HE DOES IN SÃO PAULO SEWERAGE SYSTEM AND SUBTERRANEAN WATER DUCTS, WHERE ALL THE WASTES OF THE BIG CITY ARE WASHED AWAY AMONG ZEZÃO'S WORKS OF ART.
