New Vitche Site

You’ll want to sail away on Vitche’s Galeão Mágico. Check out the new seafaring website of this talented street artist from Brazil.

We interviewed Vitché for Bomb It when we were down in São Paulo. Vitché began scribbling on the streets in the early 80’s and is one of Brazil’s first modern graffiti artists. Today he specializes in urban interventions concerned with environmental themes and general conscience.

Defining his job as political, lyrical and abstract, Vitché tries to show the importance of the forgotten feelings that are swallowed by big cities which he calls the Great Dragon. See a different way of being alive in what he does…

Here are some samples of his street work
