Os Gemeos (Portugese for ‘the twins’) are Brazilian identical twin brothers Otávio and Gustavo Pandolfo. Fermata, their latest exhibition in Vila Velha, Brazil, is a graffiti-minded colorful world of both fantasy and reality. The show consists entirely of new works, most of which were developed on site at the Museu Vale, which is an old train station now converted into a museum. The show’s name ‘fermata’ has musical roots and is defined as the interlude between musical tempos in an opera, inspiring the new paintings, interactive works, sculpture, and video. “Fermata, in this case, symbolizes the intervals needed to create the right mood for every action that will follow,” said artist Gustavo Pandolfo.
