ABOUT THE ARTISTBorn in Riverside, California in 1977, Los Angeles... based artist REVOK discovered art through his father's collection of 60's & 70's album covers, comic books, and skateboarding. In 1990 REVOK began sneaking out of the 2nd story window of his parents home to write graffiti around his neighborhood...21 years later not much has changed despite numerous arrests, jail time and fines in the U.S. and overseas.
REVOK enjoys traveling and painting graffiti. He was recently the target of a political war against graffiti and street art led by Los Angeles city attorney Carmen Trutanich and the L.A. Sheriffs department. His work explores the struggle between opposing perspectives that is perpetual action around us in our shared common spaces.
In 2011 REVOK was featured in MOCA LA’s in the “Art in the streets” Exhibition. The Pasadena Musuem of Contemporary art’s “Street Cred”, “PERSEVERANCE” at KNOWN gallery and “TRIUMPH & TRAGEDY” in Hamburg’s Vicious gallery.
ABOUT THE PROJECTREVOK, Montana Cans, The Seventh Letter and 1xRUN present:The Detroit Beautification Project
Read on for more information below.We are presenting this never before seen image of a piece REVOK created in a now demolished church back in 2009 during his first visit to Detroit. In what is commonplace in the world of graffiti & street art, an artist will go to great lengths creating a piece of work in certain location, only to have the works lifespan cut short by city clean up crews, over zealous and mentally disturbed vigilantes or rival artists… Or in this case a demolition wrecking ball. The work often lives on only in the documentation of a few, or in this case one image.For the first RUN of the Detroit Beautification Project we’re excited to present our very first print by REVOK “Sacrilege.” REVOK’s vision for the Detroit Beautification Project is to uplift communities and brighten the day of the residents of the great City of Detroit.
