RISK, Founder of the West Coast Graffiti Movement and Street Art Icon – UNLEASHED Podcast E412

Monster Energy gets into the creative mind of street art pioneer RISK (Kelly Graval) in a live episode recorded at the legendary RISKROCK Studios compound in Los Angeles. In a candid interview, the Monster Energy Ambassador speaks on the intersection of graffiti and fine art while sharing his unique experience from the wild early days of the graffiti movement. UNLEASHED goes live from Los Angeles with the founder of the West Coast graffiti movement and street art pioneer RISK. The winner of the 1989 World Graffiti Championship stepped on the scene at a time when street art was still wild and illegal. Known for bringing the culture of painting ‘whole car’ train wagons to the West Coast and pioneering graffiti art on freeway overpasses, RISK continues to craft influential works across a wide range of mixed media. Aside from collaborating with music bands such as Blink 182, Aerosmith, Guns & Roses, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, RISK defines the visuals of consumer products, including numerous Monster Energy drink cans. For the live podcast episode, the creator of iconic sculptures commanding six-digit price tags at auctions crafted a unique piece of art that was raffled to fans live on the air during the podcast.
