Bears, Birds and Raccoons

Pipsqueak Was Here, a couple of urban art artists known for their colorful and vibrant works, left their mark in Lagos with a painting titled "Bears, Birds and Raccoons". The artwork depicts a series of animated characters, such as bears, birds, and raccoons, in an imaginative and colorful setting. The abstract shapes and geometric elements add an additional dimension to the painting, making it even more intriguing and unique. You'll find it under the bridge right across Daan Botlek's work.

Artwork made during the 2014 edition of ARTURb - United Artists in Residence

ARTURb is a unique project in the Algarve that involves some of the most important names in urban art. This project consists of a period of artistic residency at LAC, followed by an exhibition at the same location and several public art interventions throughout the city of Lagos, guided tours and the launch of a catalogue.

During the period of artistic residency, artists have complete freedom to develop their work inside and outside the collective space of the LAC (former Lagos prison) which is available for any intervention, adaptation or artistic creation
