Given, well, everything<\/em>, I thought today’s photo selection could focus a bit on Portugal’s prodigious, and I do mean prodigious, street art presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, Portugal is home to a deep presence of art everywhere — statues, fountains, architecture, egg tarts (ahem), and perhaps most notable and everpresent, the azulejo tiles. But it’s the street art that hits you perhaps first and most relentlessly, because it’s everywhere. Everywhere<\/em>. At all times. My understanding of this is, it’s technically illegal, but they open up buildings and certain objects (electrical boxes, f’rex) to being all<\/em> arted up<\/em>; that does not, however, stop a lot of other art from popping up all over the place. It runs the gamut — beautiful, transgressive, simplistic, bombastic, egotistical, historical, political. You could travel to Portugal and see none of the sights except wandering to check out the street art and, I suspect, you’d still come away in awe, wanting to go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of notable Portugese street artists — in the earlier post with the Half-Rabbit, that’s Bordalo II, and you can find his work here<\/a>. The first one below is the work of Diogo Machado, or Add Fuel<\/a>. You can find more of the bigger-known artists here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANYWAY, the art is really something else, so here’s a spread of it from all over Portugal. And by all over, I mean: Lagos, Porto, Lisbon, Sintra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
