Amazing new cubes and letters painted by Nerf to add to the cool robot he painted a couple of weeks ago. The designs are part of the UrBAno Art project to redecorate a children’s playground and public park in Palermo.
Matias from Coghlan contacted Buenos Aires Street Art a few weeks ago looking for an artist to transform his house. This is the result – a stunning new appearance designed and created by Pelos de Plumas.

For several months the front of Matias’ house was covered with unslightly graffiti and he was thinking it would be a great idea to get a street artist to brighten it up with a completely different look.

Pelos de Plumas started working on the house a couple of weeks ago before going to Neuquén where he was holding a gallery exhibition of his artworks entitled Expo Genesis 2011.

He returned to Buenos Aires a couple of days ago and has just completed the project after redecorating the terrace and first floor of the building.

Matias’ wife Lucia said: “What Pelos has painted is beautiful but apart from his amazing artwork the best thing is that neighbours and people we hadn’t met before are telling us how much they like the house and we have made lots of new friends.”
