BICICLETA SEM FREIO

Tropical art, perfect for grey urban walls. Brazilian duo Bicicleta Sem Freio is all about colours, pop cultural subjects and Rock ’n’ Roll. Bicicleta Sem Freio started working in 2005 and quickly became famous for their large-scale open-air artworks Bicicleta Sem Freio have collaborated with Urban Nation on Project M/9 in 2016.

This is the story of two Brazilian guys who first met during the Visual Arts course at the Federal University of Goias, in Brazil. Quickly, they found out that they had similar interests: creating, drawing, animating whatever came to their minds, in short, having fun, artistic fun, anarchic fun. Unsurprisingly, their first works were equally as anarchic: posters for rock concerts, for example. From there, their oeuvre grew until it reached the size that it’s known for today: huge. Today, Bicicleta Sem Freio’s large-scale public artworks feature highly expressive line work and bold colour palettes.
