About the artwork

True to his practice, this canvas by Quick draws the eye with its explosion of color and vital energy. On an island at the center of the composition, the artist inscribes his pseudonym, recalling the importance of the blaz in urban art, pioneered by Quik. On either side, red, lanky cartoon figures float in this parallel universe, wearing different expressions. They seem anchored in a surreal, cartoon-inspired world.

Expert opinion

Quik is one of those artists who have infused the European urban scene with the energy of American graffiti culture. This canvas is characteristic of the artist's work and testifies to his importance as an essential link in the urban art movement.

About the artist

Lin Felton aka Quik was born in 1958 in Queens, New York. He began tagging on Queens walls at the age of 10. It wasn't long before he was covering the grayness of the city's trains with his name and recognizable graffiti. An active member of the RTW Crew, he has worked alongside the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Futura. After graduating from Parsons School of Design, Quik was spotted by Dutch art dealer Yaki Kornblit, who encouraged him to move to Europe, where he would become a recognized artist. His work has become a fixture on the international scene, and has been incorporated into prestigious collections. His work can be found in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York, the Studio Museum of Harlem in New York, the Becht Collection, the Martin Visser Collection and the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.

“My medium of choice? Spraying paint on subway trains.”
