Gutter art

Street drains aren't exactly conventional locations for works of art. In Brazil, though, Anderson Augusto and Leonardo Delafuente from 6emeia are using mundane urban components - namely grey sidewalks and gutters - as a canvas for refreshing splashes of colour and creativity. 'The duo's objective is to modify the means within which we all live, proposing a new way to view things by reflecting upon themes generated through creative and unusual works. Such modifications are made by painting storm drains, light posts, manhole covers and any other object which makes up the urban scenario.'
