Also featuring DJ Kay Slay and The Fearless Four!“Among the multitude of writers (aerosol artists) from the 1970’s & 80’s, only a certain percentage understood the science of “breathing life into letters”. These artists gave letters rhythm and a purpose. Not only were these legendary writers capable of producing highly stylized letters, they were also masters at adorning them with hypnotizing colors and unimaginable schemes and themes. True kings of their craft, they helped revolutionize the scene with a graphic lean! Their work assaulted the senses to the point where you can taste the colors, smell the composition and feel their artistic fury. Having them all in one exhibit is practically overwhelming and invokes high anxiety in any hardcore writer or supporter of the culture.”
