UFO 907
SOMEWHERE // EARTH
Ufo 907 came to Earth walking out of art school disillusioned by the standard path of the struggling artist he saw before him. Abandoning the art world, UFO found himself allured into the subcultures of graffiti and vandalism. The paint brush was traded for the spray can and the endless walls, forgotten back lots, countless stickers, mail boxes, and delivery trucks of New York City become both his studio and his gallery. The unpredictability of material and painting surface, the risk of getting arrested or chased, the never ending adventure of paintings and in strange places under the cover of darkness all contributed to the style and development of UFO’s work.
Ufo 907 has never quite fit perfectly within the classic constraints of Graffiti. From day One it’s been clear that UFO’s graffiti stems from a fine arts background, with unconventional painting techniques and highly expressive line work. After 20 years, hundreds of paintings, and millions of drawings, UFO 907 has switched gears, making the transition back into the studio. While staying true to his graffiti roots with the UFO icon and his use of spray paint and markers.
