Country: Brazil

Bicicleta Sem Freio ("Bicycle Without Brake”) is the acclaimed Brazilian duo of multi-disciplinary artists Douglas de Castro and Renato Reno. Foundedin Brazil in 2005 and mostly inspired by rock illustrations and posters at the beginning, they became internationally famous for their illustrationsand murals whose visual style is so instantly recognizable and unique. Their sophistication is revealed by the complex yet harmonious layers of ideas they depict, rich in details and references.

Known for their large- scale public artworks and award winning murals which can be seen in major cities all around the world, their work also extends to fashion, brand collaborations, prints and designsfor some of the world's leading musicians and athletes.

They currently live and work in Goiania, Brasil.
