\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you emerge from the South Station tunnel, your eyes are instantly directed towards Dewey Square Plaza where a 70’x70′ mural has been painted on the Air Intake Structure. Brazilian twin brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo (better known as Os G\u00eameos<\/a>)\u00a0created this mural as an extension to their exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Greatly inspired by the color and chaos of Brazil, Os G\u00eameos also draw from their own dreams when developing their yellow-skinned characters covered in brightly mismatched clothes donning whimsical hats, colorful hoods or scarves. \u00a0In this mural, the character is squeezed into the unusual shape of the structure between the bustling city and towering buildings. Os G\u00eameos hope their mural will bring color and energy to the streets of Boston, while inspiring curiosity and imagination. \u00a0I think they have succeeded wonderfully, it’s such a treat to see this brightly colored being as I travel to and from the bindery.<\/p>\n

Check out their website<\/a> for a video and photographs of the various stages during the painting of the mural.\u00a0<\/p>\n
