OSGEMEOS x MÄRKLIN release

With a continuous fascination of trains since their early beginnings, Brazilian graffiti duo OS GEMEOS is now co-operating with Märklin, a German company founded in 1859 and market leader in the global model railway industry.

Florian Sieber from Märklin , Düsseldorf Mayor Clara Gerlach, Os Gemeos and Hood Gallery owner Peter Michalski

Together they are presenting two new, strictly limited art wagons for collectors and model railway fans. The models can be discovered at www.maerklin-messagewagons.com until 11 April at 23:59 CEST.

Their colourful, cheerful figures are emblazoned on two Märklin Message wagons that combine art and model railway in a unique way.

While visiting the Märklin production company in Göppingen, the artists were inspired by the attention to detail with which each model is created. A motif was spontaneously created on site on a wagon in its original size.

Märklin is now releasing this motif as exclusive Märklin Message Wagons in the 1:32 (1:87) and H0 (1:32) model railway scales.

‘We are crazy with the details – anything is possible here,’ the twins put their delight into words during their visit to the Märklin factory.

Berlin Streets: Os Gemeos, Blu and ROA

Os Gemeos - Berlin

Wandering through the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, it is a delight to see some gigantic murals standing the test of time, from the Yellow Man by Brazilian twins Os Gemeos,  to politically engaged Blu highlighting issues of consumerism and global warning, as well as signature animals by ROA.
