MURALS

 
Risk is one of the world's most sought-after muralists.  His bright bold "Color Wash" murals are meant to invoke "emotion through color".  Risk's bright neon murals often include Butterfly elements and bright geometric patterns.  Pictured above, Risk painted the largest mural ever recorded in North America. A massive 85,000 square foot abandoned hospital in Sudbury, Ontario Canada. He has collaborated with some of the world's top artists on murals including Shepard Fairey, Ron English, and OG Slick.  Major brands including Lyft, Monster Energy, Universal Studios, and the NFL have commissioned Risk to do murals.

RISK - The Skid Row Mural Project - Art in the Streets - MOCAtv Ep.9

On the border of the arts district and on a wall facing Skid Row, Los Angeles graffiti artist Risk paints "Ye Sun," an energetic, optimistic mural that fills the side of the Hotel Las Americas with rays and inscriptions which symbolize the hopes and dreams of the residents of Skid Row. As an innovator of writing on "heavens," or freeway overpasses, Risk has been in dialogue with the public for thirty years, using the streets to capture attention. Now, as a father of four and an established career artist, he uses the streets to evoke emotion and awareness, to dispel the myth that all graffiti is negative, and to uplift people with bright, resilient color.
