More Lisbon Street Art/Mais Arte de Rua de Lisboa

Let's do another installment of Lisbon street art.

Here's a Super Mario Brothers mural. I strongly doubt this mural was "traditional" street art, in the sense of being unsolicited. But still, it's a public painting on the wall of a building, so I'm including it because it's an excuse to post this photo! Oh, and since I like to include it, this is located on Rua Ivens in the Chiado.

This and the following painting are both on the same building on Rua de Dom Luis I.


This work is on Travessa da Conceição da Gloria.

Finally, there is a large and elaborate mural off of Calçada do Moinho de Vento, which is a small access road to a viewpoint that sits on land belong to the Freguesia de São Jose (Freguesia = Parish in English). It also was most likely sponsored by the Freguesia, which makes sense because this way they can get their wall covered in a large, beautiful mural while avoiding the mish-mash of random tags and paintings that would crop up there otherwise. Anyway, it's pretty cool. The only problem is the mural is so wide, and the street was so narrow, that there was simply no way to include the entire mural in one shot. So, it's broken up into five sequential photos. The order you're viewing it is from left to right. If you look, there is at least one visual marker you can identify as the "break line" at the edge of each picture...

  1. Im glad you caught this without the sun on it for the most part, as the colors are most dramatic this way. Interesting work, with a bit of cubistic flavor bent around a comic book art look. Keep those photos coming.
