OSGEMEOS is a graffiti-artist duo from Brazil best known for their large format paintings of yellow figures. Blending influences of Brazilian folklore, hip-hop culture, political commentary, and personal history, centered on characters in a self-made fantasy world called Tritez. Os Gêmeos is a moniker, translated in Portuguese as The Twins. They started painting breakdancing and painting graffiti in the 1980’s, before becoming interested in American street and art culture after an encounter with the artist Barry McGee in 1993. Their work uses a mostly yellow palette, as the color is easy to see from a distance on the street. Their rise to prominence has been meteoric, their murals plastered on structures throughout the world, including in Coney Island, NY and on Brazilian subway trains.
