Moro em Oslo de momento, e quando voltei a mnh cidade natal nas férias de Verão deparo-me com este trabalho e fico a perguntar-me a mim mesmo quem tinha sido o gajo la da terra com uma ideia tão boa. Tinha de ser 4 meses passados de volta a Oslo para saber que o Vhils (de quem eu gosto muito dos trabalhos) tinha passado por Torres. Obrigado por dares vida a Torres Vedras =)

[NiteRider107]

That was pretty freaking cool.

[NPHCCreations]

yeah, that was really good! Cool video, I gave it 5 stars! Check out our awesome vids while your at it just click on our name above, we have some new ones. Thanks

[brussy1]

cool camera work, but since when did compromising the integrity of someones property, become art?

[redhot4chili]

its an abandoned building its no ones preperty

[808Dann420]

integrity? he didn't take down a whole wall or anything, chipped off probably a tenth of what was already off the building, and if you didnt notice the graffiti already this doesnt seem to be someones property, and art is anything.

[algeriamo]

fancay

[uroio8w]

Indeed the performance is really great, but I thought the camea works very well too. This is art, I think so.

[lixi1985sc]

This is arts!Although they take off part of the print, but we still can see every details of the figure, and, at the same time, they add strong motion and contrast on it. It just like our life, no matter how does it looks like and how much damage we have taken before, we have to face it, and look forward

[dreampower]

did you make that with that new camera that just came out.

[mike505c]

stupid dont do this again it just waste's your time cause its not art.. even tho you think it is

[Creativedonkey]

How is it not art?

Photography, Cinematography, etc. are all types of art.

Don't be an ignorant fool, just because something isn't done with a pen or pencil doesn't mean it's not art.

[Orela94]

define art.

[RuneSPS]

Not art? Go back to school, take some art classes. Then you will notice that this IS art.

[hawkburn45]

The angels are beautiful, the focus is out-standing. What type of vid. camera are you using?

[MrLast1Standing]

wow....

[marklesparkle99]

i don't they they expected the result they had after chipping away the plaster... I mean ending up having to reuse the black paint to define shapes/provide contrast was probably what they had not planned to do initially.

[ps2freak6678]

I dont get it....maybe im just a stupid american, but I found it pretty dull and boring

[namekman01]

i pick option b, the maybe

yam its dry, but its good, like fine wine

[kindamisty2]

i know i thought so to, i dont really get what so cool about it???

[Salaaahh]

[kidbott187]

[gladmovies]

[ShephardStudio]

I'm not sure I get it.... It was a nice video... I wish I knew who that was in the painting...self portrait? political figure? it would help to know.

[skaness10]

[Tomlayud93]

[2muchhi]

[squair2728]

that was too cool : )

[waveflow]

badass

[WalkAboutPro]

Bravo! - en todas formas una obra artistica....

[insys2451]

PORTUGAL !!!!!

Very nice.

[littl3alic3]

I thought the cinematography in this was absolutely beautiful, as well as the art.

[AndanteLargo]

Excellent! Absolutely beautiful.

[caracolito05]

Beautiful! Love the song and video.

[dsleeperhold]

i skipped to the end. Its gonna fall apart.

[Crastics07]

That was a weird art form but cool. Never seen that before.

[RS15zero]

Excellent!!!

[puppeteye]

horrible editing and filming!!! just the last 3 seconds are ok!

[razzledazzle1]

if you thought it was that bad why did you watch the whole thing?

[eLLriDe420]

mehhhh. youd get shot doing this were i live.

[big1mitch]

who is the person depicted in the picture?

[chazdaspazman]

kewl artwork =)

[MsRedbelly]

Gorgeous, the art, the cinematography, edit , soundtrack... I love the textures & play of the light, the 'epic' & magical feel of it. Perfect title since graffiti is derived from 'graffio' (Italian) meaning 'to scratch'

[dunn808]

just say you like it.

[mogliath]

trying too hard to make it an artistic video it gets annoying to watch. I'd prefer watching it like a documentation vids, like how he started, the techniques he used and what results they produced. Its like trying so hard wrapping a gift you make the gift looks cheaper.

[eduaccioly]

muito boa a edição: conseguiu fazer de um simples e bonito trabalho algo elevado à categoria de magnífico... parabéns

[arnareyes]

watch this

[rolandgladden]

Aweaome video~great music:)*****

[solomonkeys11]

great work

[XZZZ666]

wow ang galing. . .pa cheeseburger ka naman

[matibarcelona]

muy bueno!

[LowKicksFB]

1 talented dude ...^^ i agree 93394348

[syrinx2557]

thats awesome man, great work, i really like how aged it looks! very original nice work

[meiomedio]

excelente, nao sabia q em portugal se faziam coisas assim :O muito bom mesmo

[xXminenotyoursXx]

Vhils. . . damn. pretty awesome dude :D

[RascillianTV]

i dont get it. he didnt really do anything but carve it up

[jkwoon96]

That means you don't understand art.

[RascillianTV]

but whats there to understand? there was a picture of a face and he carved up the chin? im not dissing it or anything i jst dont get it

[wowitsmidnight]

or his representation of art is not that of another...

[heyheyguesswhat]

I don't understand it either. An earlier comment says it gives an "urban decay" look.

I'd say, too much effort with very little effect. It already looked good without the carving.

But hey, each to it's own.

[poshablyposh]

i agree with you up to a certain extent.I admire the fact that he worked pretty hard to get that tiny effect.yeah but too much effort and too little effect i agree.

[darkantidote]

That's cause you haven't seen it in real life

[poshablyposh]

uhhhh right.+

[93394348]

jaw dropping..

[deeknits]

WOW!!!

[MATTDUNCAN1]

beautiful vid ...thanx

[ekiler909]

جيد جيد

[tsonukarabocado]

Vhils is a oldschool graffiti writter from portugal, i've seen many graffs from him ( 90s ) and i didn't know he was still doing, however looks like he changed his style quite a bit,

[pro2col]

that was awesome.

[CountessBatula]

why do I have to be so untalented lol

[danielgreat]

beautiful.

[BllueJeeper]

yeah your mom is :)

[elmutchacho1]

No probably it´s not Bush, that´s the thing about is work...

His works it´s great because it makes you find out which image in carved in your mind.

The importance of the icons, images nowadays and how they change your life without you realizing it...

Stop and think about what's in your first impression.

And most important than that, WHY?

[Kangtahiro]

But who the person that they scratched is? It looks like President Bush

[shadowspark]

He was completing it. He's giving his spray paint an "urban-decay" look with the white drips and wall-cutting. Notice how he cuts in such a way that the black lines fade beautifully into the carvings? It makes it look like the painting was there for ages.

[Bayto2009]

Simply Amazing~

[obigalish]

Love the soundtrack, wow

[squirerad]

amazing wow... jaw dropping wow.

[LovelyxBird]

this is art.

[stopwhit05]

thats amazing im an artist myself

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

truly epic

[SomethingLikeMolly]

wow. this was a really great very.

beautifully done. BRAVO! <3

[DaWolfsOnCrAcK]

Wow... The whole piece was nicely executed... People always credit the Artist or the Creators in these videos and Yeah they deserve it... But The filming.... the angles.... pan shots... everything was really nice... but ya wow... good job mate :)

[tylenoljohnson]

destruction of public property, much?

[usaearthling]

destruction of a great artist moment? Loser.
