RISK
Acrylic on fiberglass, signed by the artist, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek.
Inspired by the music and legacy of The Doors.
RISK is best known for spearheading the movement elevating graffiti as an art form in Los Angeles and worldwide. RISK first gained notoriety for his unique style in the 1980s and pushed the limits of graffiti further than any writer in L.A. had before: he was one of the first writers in Southern California to paint freight trains, and he pioneered writing on "heavens," or freeway overpasses. At the peak of his career he took graffiti from the streets and into the gallery with the launch of the Third Rail series of art shows, and later parlayed the name into the first authentic line of graffiti-inspired clothing.
