The work "Giants" created by twin artists Octavio Pandolfo and Gustavo Pandolfo from Brazil (the two form the creative team OSGEMEOS, Os Gêmeos means twins in Portuguese) for the Vancouver Biennale chose to sit beside the river. The cement factory and its huge storage tanks became the best canvas for the two brothers.
Large-scale street graffiti may not be difficult to see, but it is really rare to see such an exaggerated one. Each storage tank is about 22.86 meters high, and the overall surface area is about 2183.22 square meters. If converted into a larger The familiar number of square meters is more than 660 square meters. If the landlord does not lie and removes all the partitions, the floor area of ??66 small suites of 10 square meters will be needed to fully display the graffiti!
There is no doubt that this is the largest work OSGEMEOS has ever created. In order to complete an iconic task, they gave themselves an interesting slogan "Go Big or Go Home" and spent nearly a month creating it. Finally, presented in front of the public. They started out as small graffiti on the streets. In recent years, they have attracted more and more attention, and their eye-catching minions have become bigger and bigger, making them unforgettable. The benefits of large-scale creations are not only to accelerate peoples understanding of OSGEMEOS, but also to find a creative space that is different from the past. The originally dark and monotonous factory can also be transformed into a city attraction, making a certain contribution to beautifying the city.
