Quik & Dr Revolt

Born in New York in 1958, Quik (Lin Felton) is considered one of the pioneers of the "writing" style. Active since the mid-1970s, he stands out for the complexity of his lettering, the fluidity of his compositions, and his particularly innovative approach to color and movement. As a member of the famous collective The Fabulous 5, he helped transform graffiti from subway cars into an internationally recognized art form. His work played a key role in graffiti’s transition into galleries and art institutions. Dr. Revolt (Charles Hargrove) is one of the iconic figures of the New York underground scene of the 1970s and 1980s. As a member of the Rolling Thunder Writers collective, he developed a particularly expressive style characterized by organic forms, figures, and great graphic freedom. His influence extends beyond graffiti, as he also contributed to the development of the East Village’s punk and art scenes, collaborating notably with numerous artists from the New York avant-garde.
