RISK…Beautifully Destroyed….

Posted January 15th, 2012 at 10:37pm by Risky

Came across this searching the web the other day…… All I can say is well put, No comment….

Risk has been working on a series of pieces called “beautifully destroyed” where he paints totally mundane objects. By painting these random ordinary objects with beautiful splashes of color He exposes the dynamic power of color. He believes he has found the root of his graffiti addiction through color and architecture. (for more on this visit his site riskrock.com.) Rumor has it pieces have randomly disappeared across the United States and reappeared the next day “beautifully destroyed”….
We think the artist objective is to “give back” and let these pieces take their course in society. Unfortunately the public does not get a chance to enjoy these pieces very long. They are usually stolen very quickly and sold to collectors for exuberant prices. The artist does not get any money from this and we don’t get to enjoy them, maybe this is the “course” of our mad society…..

RISK Beautifies Miami’s Skid Row

Los Angeles graffiti pioneer RISK isn’t painting in the Wynwood artist district this year for Miami’s Art Basel.  Instead he is bringing his Beautifully Destroyed series of murals to skid row.

“As graffiti artists we strived and struggled to make the ghettos look better, to give ourselves a slice of something better. Now that we are recognized have we forgotten what and why? I talked to several homeless people who will live less than fifty feet from my mural. They are very excited to be able to see something they call so pretty in an usually institutional color pallet. To me this is what it’s about. Giving back to the people who need to be lifted.”

RISK was recently featured in MoCA’s attendance breaking show “Art in the Streets.” Stop by the Corey Helford Gallery space at SCOPE to see RISK’s newest paintings.

Some of the murals can not be posted at this time, however this one is  located on 7th and North Miami Drive.
