MR. DHEO

WEDNESDAY WALL OF FAME !

Let’s not talk about clitorides for now but about real testosteron. This guy has definitely build up his load since he started painting from a very young age. Inspired by magazines and newspapers absorbing all the fancy letters he could. Mainly to start copy paste them and slowly but determined finding his own way to represent himself in the streets.

Already at an early age he aimed at practising his letters, bringing them to the walls of the city. Developping his own style that turned into an incredible photorealistic touch of portraits and insane geometrical shapes and compositions. The expressive faces, the bizar close-ups, and the magnificent fading and shading makes you want to stare at his murals for hours (or at least a gooooooood amount of minutes ; )

His base is beautiful Porto, but he definitely often finds himself in other places all over the world. Fourty cities to be exactly counting.

He also has his share of commissioned works, cooperating with a wide range of  (inter)national companies, brands and festivals. Though the streets keep calling him. Having his roots in the graffiti world, he experimented a fine amount to come to his personal touch of pieces.

A true companion and collaborator is another famous Portuguese graffitiwriter ParizOne***, with whom he formed a collective since 2012: Armu Yama. Ofcourse conquering the world in a magnificent combostyle of «lettering and magic realism». Like they did together in Graça (Lisbon) under the denominator «Revolutionary Toons».
