RISK is a pioneering West Coast graffiti and fine artist known for merging street art, pop culture, and neon sculpture. He began painting in the 1980s as part of the Los Angeles graffiti movement, later transitioning into gallery and large-scale installation work. His neon and light-based works combine spray paint, layered textures, license plates, and custom neon tubing—bridging fine art with industrial craft.
