RISK

RISK from Los Angeles is among the most prolific graffiti artists ever to wield a spray can. Innovative and daring, he was among the pioneers who boldly painted on unconventional canvases, including freight trains, freeways, and buses. At the zenith of his career, RISK took graffiti from the streets and brought it into the clothing scene with the groundbreaking Third Rail brand. RISK’s artistry is characterized by a relentless focus on the traditional aesthetics of letter formation. He deftly combines this with his distinctive deconstruction techniques and masterful color layering, resulting in a visually captivating tapestry of color architecture that interacts harmoniously with its surroundings. His work has been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and in 2023, he won the Art Wynwood Lifetime Artist Achievement Award.
