REVOK’s paint-stained hands are surely amongst the most coveted in graffiti, with the Los Angeles-based artist’s handstyle setting the standard for generations. After those hands were placed in the harsh metal cuffs of the law, the resilient creative has focused his energies into gallery work, specifically: large, wondrous mixed media woodwork – an offshoot from his past endeavors. REVOK’s latest is set to appear in a new exhibition at Library Street Gallery in Los Angeles, aptly dubbed: “REVOK: Los Angeles.” Ahead of the show, the legendary artist spoke candidly to videographer Keegan Gibbs about his current creative process and inspiration, as well as his surprising sentiments on the law. Check out the video above, and be sure to check out REVOK’s forthcoming show between April 10 and 19.
