BOMB
IT is the explosive new documentary from award-winning
director Jon Reiss investigating the most subversive and
controversial art form currently shaping international youth
culture: graffiti.
This cutting edge documentary tracks down today's most innovative
and pervasive street artists as they battle for control
over the urban visual landscape. You'll never look at public
space the same way again.
Chaz Bojórquez, featured in this
documentary, began his art career by spray-painting along
riverbeds. He attended an art school in Guadalajara, Mexico,
and at Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) the year before
graduating from high school in 1967. By the end of 1969,
Bojórquez had created a symbol that represented him
and the streets-a stylized skull called Señor Suerte
(Mr. Luck). It has become a gangster image of protection
from death.
Bojórquez continues to take old skool Cholo writing
further and further. He has come to be internationally known
and respected as one of the most influential graffiti artists
of our time.
