ABOUT THE ARTIST

Chris RWK (Robots Will Kill) has been on the scene since the late 80s/early 90s, (before street art was "street art," but that's a whole different conversation). By age 11, Chris was already introduced to graff, intrigued by what his older brother and his buddies were getting into. He had already been into art at that time, drawing his own versions of his favorite comic books and cartoons. References to the music, music videos, album covers, television shows and other facets of 1970s, 80s and 90s popular culture appear throughout ChrisRWK's artwork both on the streets and in his "indoor" paintings. His visual language is layered and draws from the multi-genre fascinations of his childhood and adolescence. ChrisRWK invites the viewer to familiarize themselves with his characters and the iconographic imagery he uses and to create their own relationship with them. He hopes his audience feels at home with his pieces and evoke their own memories and stories. His recognizable robot character has been around for more than two decades. He launched RobotsWillKill.com in 2001 as an online hub to feature artists who were often ignored by the mainstream art world. The site evolved into an international landing space for "outsider" and "street" artists to share their work and learn about artists from around the globe. Many relationships and collaborations grew from this meeting space and the site remains a quintessential touchstone for graffiti and street art documentation to this day.
