An archive,
not a shop.
Urban Archive Gallery began as a childhood ambition to own a gallery — and it was never going to be a white room with six paintings in it. It is an archive: a place that gathers the styles born on the streets of the cities Caio Trevisan has walked through life, and lets them stand next to each other.
Realistic pieces and cartoons drawn by Caio himself. Traditional tattoo work. Urban animals. Abstract. Art deco and vintage. Some of it black ink alone, some of it full colour, none of it following a fixed rule. What holds the archive together is a conviction rather than a look — the street has its own luxury, and it deserves the same paper, the same ink and the same framing as anything hanging uptown.
To democratise art through high-end prints — while keeping space for the rare originals serious collectors come looking for.
Open editions make the work reachable. Limited editions and one-of-a-kind hand-painted originals keep the top of the archive genuinely scarce. Both belong here, and neither exists to prop up the other.
Five ways in
Loose groupings, not categories. Caio has never worked toward a single aesthetic — the subject decides the treatment, so plenty of pieces sit in more than one of these, and a few sit outside all of them.
- 01Realistic & CartoonDrawn by Caio himself — the founding language of the archive, moving between straight portraiture and character work.
- 02Traditional TattooBold-line flash iconography lifted off skin and put on paper, where it has always belonged.
- 03AbstractForm, rhythm and negative space pulled straight out of concrete, steel and glass.
- 04Urban AnimalsThe city's other residents — the strays, the pigeons, the rooftop survivors nobody photographs.
- 05Art Deco & VintageSkyline geometry and period detail, redrawn with a modern hand and a steadier line.
Street subject. Gallery finish.
