Term 3 - Eduardo Kobra
Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra utilizes bright colours and bold lines while staying true to a kaleidoscope theme throughout his art. The technique of repeating squares and triangles allows him to bring to life the famous people he depicts in his images. This checkered pattern, filled with different textures, lines, and shading, builds up to Eduardo Kobra’s final masterpiece, a larger than life mural for all to see and marvel at.
Eduardo Kobra’s early works were only painted in Brazil, and in 2011 Kobra created his first mural outside his country as France invited him to paint a wall about immigration in a neighbourhood of Lyon. The rest of his career took him to paint in different countries around the world like the USA, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands, Russia, Japan and India.
