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.
RISK’s Miami skid row murals are located on 7th and North Miami Drive.
New Orleans

Last week, I had the opportunity to go to New Orleans and participate in a unique show. The show consisted of local artists who have continuously pushed to make New Orleans emerging Graff/Street Art scene what it is today. Some local “Art Enthusiast” purchased a warehouse and opened it up for the invited artists to do their thing. On the last night, they had big New Orleans style blow out. Being from New Orleans, it was an honor and a pleasure to participate….Good times…..
RISK speaks at BOSTON MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

Last week, I went to Boston to participate in a lecture at the MFA. It was an honor and a pleasure. The panel consisted of Roger Gastman, author and associate curator of “Art in The Streets,” L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art, Jen Mergel, Senior curator of contemporary art Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Caleb Neelon, artist and author of The History of American Graffiti, and myself. We explored the history, from underground to mainstream, shifting perceptions of graffiti, from unpopular to popular, illegal to celebrated. I discussed my work, the evolution of Graffiti in L.A. and the world over. Following the panel we had a book signing where I had the opportunity to meet some local writers and discuss current graffiti issues. Thanks to everyone in Boston! GOODTIMES!!!!
oh yea, and I had to get up!!!!….
RISK X ANTENNA MAGAZINE…. OSIRIS

Osiris Shoes are getting ready to drop my new shoes. We filmed a dope commercial a few months back. They’re always on the pulse, and ahead of the curve. This time they implemented the new process that I’m sure will soon become the “norm”, you can actually scan the bar code and down load the commercial. Very Cool!
