Street art is a phenomenon at São Paulo and it adds colour to daily life. Everywhere in the city where there is a gap in the wall, it is likely that some artists will have claimed the space and drew on it.
I have always wanted to see street art in places where there are a concentration of different styles and subject matter. Alas, due to concern for personal safety I only dared to go to places where there are likely to be other visitors. So I headed for Beco do Batman (or Batman Alley). And I was not disappointed.
There are so many interesting pieces; no amount of blogs will do them justice. Here, I have picked the ones that appeal to me personally. No narrative is necessary.
