Identical twin brothers from Brazil have completed another giant 'Os Gemeos Mural' on the side of Boston's Big Dig Building.
The two brothers, whose real names are Otavio and Gustavo Pandolf, are known for their riveting art pieces and unique style that sets them apart from other graffiti artists. Their latest piece was done in honor of an exhibition at the ICA/Boston this month. The twins were commissioned to work on two separate murals in the city; the first at the Big Dig building and the second at the Revere Hotel.
An interesting note about this mural is that the brothers incorporated the shape of the building into the mural design. Having the character's head as the top of the building is also a beautiful touch. Art fans can't wait to see which city Os Gemeos will end up decorating next.
