We delve into the HUCK archives to revisit our feature on pixo street art in São Paulo, Brazil.
'But unlike graffiti, a pixo artist, or a pixador, doesn’t paint colour figures on the walls. Instead, all a pixador paints is words, hard-to-read words in fact, often outside tall buildings which he climbs with bare hands to write his message. A truepixador mixes fonts and techniques, like an early Basquiat that writes on concrete instead of canvas.' - Giuliano Cedroni
