Gabriel Ignacio's interest for art begun in Sao Paulo, Brazil were he started painting the city walls as any other graffiti writer. He studied communication but left his studies unfinished to engage a more specific course on creativity at Miami Ad School at Sao Paulo which lead him to Madrid. There, he started his advertising career and started receiving new influences from a totally different street culture. Working at Swing Swing Advertising as an art director he has never stopped working as a freelance illustrator for Spanish  and Brazilian agencies and clients, highlighting his worldwide illustration work for CAMPER. He also collaborates with the Brazilian collective Urban Summer, which gave him the opportunity to participate in their first collective show at Galería Pop, one of the best show spaces in Sao Paulo.

This show is titled “BASURA” the spanish word for rubbish. Opposite to a white canvas. Rubish has memory, has been other places, has its own history and Gabiel´s art is to be able to let out every pieces story in his own particular language: his drawing.

Codigo de faixa shows the intervention of public space by the artists of the group 'Mane de obra', transforming a zebra cross into a gigantic barcode in the center of (Brazil) in May 2007.
Local authorities of the city of Porto Alegre, considered the art performance as a criminal act whilst the art community and creative professionals were defending it as Street art. The artwork was destroyed just after the publication of the image in the cover of a major newspaper, ignored by the authorities for 15 days… The police was involved, with an official report to find the responsible artists, who refused to reveal their identities but responding to the act as the 'Grupo Mane de Obra', which means 'labours from the building site'.

Our mission is to support new art, particularly art with technology, and new talent inspired by Brazil.
Braziliality started in July 2008 and with almost three years, we have presented the work of 147 artists from 24 countries had had their work showcased in 28 exhibitions that attracted over 1,595 people to private viewings. More than 8,160 people have seen the Braziliality exhibitions. In these three years, Braziliality will have worked in partnership with The Brazilian Embassy in London, Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery, Made in Brasil Bar, Jungle Drums Magazine, Leros Magazine, Record Television, Canal Londres, Latin America Bureau, ABC Trust, Visual Brasil Festival in Barcelona, Deslocamentos in Berlin, Fourth Plinth Pedal Power project, Planarama, Abelha Cachaca and Favela Chic and we hope to be working with many more interesting people, business and organizations in the future.
