Brazil’s Unique Graff: Pixação

By Piers Fawkes on March 30, 2009

CoolHunting have a new video about Pixação graffiti in Brazil. The angular style that seems to cover the city of Sao Paulo was first used in the early 80s and was inspired by heavy metal typography which in turn was inspired by viking type-style. The narrator Joao Wainer says that the style isn’t exactly appreciated by the locals – but it is a unique street art style that has developed in Brazil.
