REVOK

Born in Riverside, Ca. in 1977 Los Angeles based REVOK discovered art through his fathers 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 is currently the target of a political war against Graffiti and street art led by Los Angeles city attorney Carmen Trutanich and the L.A. Sheriffs dept. REVOK's art explores the struggle of survival and dominance between opposing perspectives that is perpetual action around us in our shared common spaces.

REVOK has shown in LA's MOCA in the "Art in the streets" Exhibition, as well as The Pasadena Musuem of Contemporary art's "Street Cred" Both in 2011.
