Many of those full building graffiti are the beautiful work of renowned street artist Eduardo Kobra

I love SP street art but I think most of Kobra's stuff is terrible. I did see one recently that I liked. Is it art? Yeah. Is it fine art? Yeah probably. Just not my cup of tea.

Can you say more about what you don't like about Kobra's art vs. other street art? I'm curious, not familiar with the genre!

One of his signature motifs is to put a checkerboard in everything. Do an image search for "kobra checkerboard" and you'll see. I find it a bit cliché and it doesn't appeal to my asthetics.
