Brazilian artist Cabelo does not limit himself to any single medium, instead choosing to work in poetry, music, painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance. The term "cultural seismographer" is a common descriptor applied to the eclectic creator.
Cabelo’s visual works are best known for the use of bold lines and colors influenced by urban aesthetics. He creates performance pieces and sculptural environments that encapsulate the essence of Brazilian life and culture.
He was born in 1967 and his work shows the influence of the conceptual art movement of the 1960s and 1970s. He embraces multiple artistic outlets, all focused on an abstract, metaphysical embodiment of Brazil as an idea, seen from the inside.
In his own words, "To begin with, I don’t belong to myself. I’m a horse of the world. Poetry’s vehicle." His chosen moniker, Cabelo, derives from the Portuguese word for "horse". In some afro-Brazilian rituals, the "horse" is the medium for a spirit. Read Less

What is Street art?
Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
