About the Item

Kelly Graval (RISK) is a multi-talented creator, illustrator, and street artist who pioneered the West Coast graffiti movement. Born in 1967, RISK attended the USC School of Fine Arts, where he began to build his permanent notoriety in Los Angeles. The first street artist to paint freeway overpasses, dubbed “hitting up the heavens,” RISK’s legacy in contemporary art history is unmistakable. His talents quickly proved far from singular, expanding to canvas, sculpture, and massive street murals that celebrate and interact with their surrounding communities. Focused on transforming graffiti from an expressive subculture to an art form represented in galleries, RISK launched the Third Rail series of shows exhibiting the versatile medium. His art can be seen in the music videos of Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ice Cube, and Bad Religion. A regular collaborator with some of the world’s top musicians, RISK has created commissions for Aerosmith, hand-painted concert outfits for Halsey, and the cover art for Blink 182’s album “9”. RISK was the first artist invited to paint in Michaelangelo’s studio in over 400 years. His recent projects explore color field painting, repurposed sculpture, and multilayered explorations of psychedelia. Exhibited in galleries, museums, and streets worldwide, RISK additionally received the Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award at Art Wynwood in 2023.
