New Mural Replaces Haring Tribute on Houston

So the Keith Haring tribute mural has been buffed, and currently the Brazilian street art duo (and twin brothers) Os Gemeos (real names Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo) are creating their own mural in its place (Animal has photos of the work in progress).

If you've been to Coney Island anytime in the past four years, it's likely you've already seen Os Gemeos' work, they have a mural opposite the Coney Island subway station that Creative Time sponsored.

As for this new one, it's sponsored by Deitch (who also commissioned the Haring piece). They tell us it will "blend ideas from artist's daily life with the fantasy or 'ludico' world where the recognizable is harmonically blended with the abstract." And the artists are doing this as they go, the duo don't work off sketches, so we'll just have to wait and see!
