NYC graffiti art, heavy metal, comic books, and fantasy art
intersect here in Louie "KR.ONE" Gasparro's visual autobiography.
This legendary Queens artist-drummer weaves these powerful
influences into a medium he calls "Graffantasy," creating tags,
wall pieces, paintings and illustrations, model trains, jackets,
and more. Gaze at this modern Renaissance man's work from 1977 to
the present, and trace his evolution from his adolescent days
watching bombed subway cars whirring by in a KOLORSTORM, to the
underground period tagging trains and evading cops, to his legal
works and whole-school buses. Starting with a scrapbook-like photo
collection from Louie's youth and his other career as drummer of
several heavy metal bands, the book moves on with elaborate
sketches from the artist's blackbooks, and colorful concert posters
and album covers. Through a stunning array of styles and
techniques, witness KR.ONE's transformation from restless punk to
major decorative artist and abstract painter.
