A Choque "é uma referência" para o crítico de arte Fábio Cypriano

-
A Choque, galeria que trouxe para o mercado artistas de rua, mais acostumados às paredes da cidade do que ao asséptico cubo branco, conseguiu , em menos de dois anos, tornar-se referência para colecionadores, críticos, além de agregar novo público a arte contemporânea.

The space has been divided in such a way as to provide each artist space to display their own signature style of graffiti on a variety of surfaces, including the walls and ceiling. Instead of the strict demarcation from one artist to the next, that one might expect to result from such an arrangement, what emerges is an uninterrupted flow, and the manifestation of a street vernacular that can best be described as purely Brazilian.
