ITAPEVI, Brazil - Many painters struggle to get their work viewed but Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra won't have a problem - his most recent work is billed as the biggest in the world.
The prolific Kobra takes as his canvas the sides of the Cacau Show factory on one of the main highways into Sao Paulo - and not just one side. The piece wraps around the corners.
Still not quite finished, it shows the top half of an indigenous tribesman in a multicolored collage as he paddles through a great brown river of chocolate. The work connects the chocolate products inside the building to the traditions of far-off Amazonian cocoa farmers.
