Vintage Street Art in the aldeia do Meco, 24 August 2021

Abandoned in Meco, 24 August 2021
This house in Meco has been abandoned for decades and is beginning to collapse. However, the ivy-covered door with its beautiful cast knocker is a joy to behold. https://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/08/abandoned-in-meco-24-august-2021.html

The aldeia do Meco is filled with some really old street art. Along the boundary of the village is a wall that over the years has been used by a variety of artists. Some is an early attempt at modern Street Art typography, other work is best described as graffiti — slogans coarsely sprayed ontoContinue reading “Vintage Street Art in the aldeia do Meco, 24 August 2021”

The aldeia do Meco is filled with some really old street art. Along the boundary of the village is a wall that over the years has been used by a variety of artists. Some of this might justifiably be described as ‘vintage’, and contains early versions of the ‘classic graffiti writing so popular in theContinue reading “Vintage Street Art in the aldeia do Meco, 24 August 2021”
Street Art in the aldeia do Meco, 24 August 2021
I have long been a fan of this often transient artform, but the aldeia do Meco is filled with some magnificent street art. This beautifully preserved collection, even featuring a piece by the Cascais-based artist Dalaiama, was built in a small structure that might have been planned as an office for a nearby development butContinue reading “Street Art in the aldeia do Meco, 24 August 2021”

Portuguese Mosaic Tiling: Carris
Tiles (called azulejos) are everywhere in Portugal. They decorate everything from the walls of churches and monasteries, to palaces, houses, fountains, shops, and train stations. They often portray scenes from the history of the country, show its most ravishing sights, or simply serve as street signs, nameplates, or house numbers. The term azulejo comes from the ArabicContinue reading “Portuguese Mosaic Tiling: Carris”
Street Art in Aveiro
Took time out to go to Aveiro and record some street art… It was supposed to be for a couple of hours and ended up being a full day. Fun, though… //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js
On the Streets of Portugal
One of the oddities of Portugal is the mixture of buildings you find in most towns and cities.
