Ruas de Sio Paulo allows eight Brazilian street artists to present their non-traditional painting styles and native culture. Choque Cultural Gallery, based in Sio Paulo, will collaborate on this exhibition of contemporary Brazilian art, and explore Brazil graffiti heritage and influence on current South American mural art. Ruas de Sio Paulo will offer exposure for these talented artists in the art capital of the world, bringing recognition to a growing international graffiti art scene. For many of the artists, this is their first time traveling to and showcasing their work in the United States. This will be the first group exhibition of its kind, a distinct collaboration between Jonathan LeVine Gallery and Choque Cultural Gallery.
