The mural at Houston St. and Bowery in the Lower East Side is a magnificent sight indeed. Painted in July ‘09 by Brazilian-born identical twin brothers, Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo, otherwise known as Os Gemeos - it was part of The Keith Haring Foundation on the wall he originally painted in 1982; and Deitch Projects, which is also soon to be leaving NYC.
I absolutely ADORE this mural. It’s so vibrant and brings so much life (and joy) to that intersection. Every time I pass it, I start giggling. It’s just full of interesting and fantastical creatures, yet with scenes from their real life - riding the N train and bicycling in the city. Of course, I LOVE the fish!
Get a close up of the mural from my “Sights in the City” album.
Be sure to view it in detail before it gets painted over March 31st.
