About the Item

Hand signed, dated and numbered in roman numerals out of 30 by Crash. Printed on Arches paper, blind stamped "Arches France" in the bottom right corner. Crash’s "Raw Electricity" serves as a bridge between fine art and street culture, demonstrating how graffiti evolved from underground rebellion to respected artistic practice. As one of the pioneers who brought graffiti into gallery spaces, Crash challenged traditional art hierarchies, placing his work alongside the Pop Art giants but with a distinct urban edge that retains the authenticity of his street art roots. His influence, much like Haring’s, is credited with legitimizing street art within the broader art historical canon. In this context, "Raw Electricity" is a celebration of the spontaneity, dynamism, and visual power of graffiti, solidifying Crash’s role as a critical figure in the transition of street art into mainstream artistic recognition, following in the legacy of Warhol and Haring while carving a path of his own.
