Released in 2003 and printed in Iceland by Soma NYC, this book captures iconic street art and graffiti culture, featuring vibrant illustrations and unique artistic signatures from the artists. A must-have for collectors and fans of graffiti art, this edition includes works and designs from Adaptive Radiation, Zephyr, and DJ Honda Recordings. The Quik-Seen-Ces collaboration brings together three of New York City’s most iconic graffiti artists, each leaving a profound mark on the history of street art and the graffiti movement. Quik (Lin Felton), active since the late 1970s, is known for his distinctive style, blending political and social commentary with vibrant colors and cartoon-like characters. Quik made his name during the height of the New York subway graffiti era, painting trains in the late 70s and early 80s. As one of the few artists who continued to push boundaries into galleries, Quik remains a pioneer in merging graffiti with contemporary art. His work confronts issues of race, identity, and society, all while maintaining the rebellious spirit of street art. Seen (Richard Mirando), often dubbed “The Godfather of Graffiti,” was also a dominant force during the NYC train era. Seen’s work covered subway trains throughout the late 70s and 80s, with his large, colorful, and highly detailed murals becoming a staple of the underground graffiti movement. Seen’s influence extended beyond the streets, as his bold style and technique were showcased in galleries worldwide. He was a central figure in graffiti documentaries such as Style Wars, immortalizing his status as a legend in graffiti history. Ces (Robert Provenzano) represents the next wave of graffiti artists, emerging in the mid-80s to early 90s. Known for his wildstyle lettering and technical precision, Ces became a major figure in the Bronx graffiti scene. His ability to transform complex letter structures into dynamic, flowing pieces has earned him recognition as one of the most innovative letter-based graffiti artists of his generation. Ces helped transition graffiti from the subway trains to the streets and walls of New York City, solidifying the culture’s continuation into the 90s. These artists were instrumental in shaping the golden age of NYC graffiti, particularly during the late 70s to 80s when subway trains became the canvas for a new form of artistic expression. Their work not only reflected the raw energy and creativity of the streets but also transformed public perception of graffiti from mere vandalism to legitimate art.
