Graffiti Artist Charles "KOOR" Hargrove New Exposition Roermond, The Netherlands To Open November 16th 2008

"KOOR" (born Charles Hargrove, 1963 in the Bronx New York) is his artist name as a turn around of "ROOK" which means tower in the chessplay.
The choice for his graffiti name is determined by his love for architectural elements, which he applies in his graffiti art works often.

KOOR is inspired by new science and technology. He calls his work "Futuristic Symbolism". The robot appeared many times in his older work.

His first show he did at the age of 16. It was the big Fashion Moda show of 1980.

Together with his friend Rammellzee and other artists like QUIK, DONDI WHITE, CRASH and FUTURA he stood at the basis of the New York Graffiti Street Art Movement.

DZD Gallery in Roermond, The Netherlands opens a show with new works under the title "Work In Progress" on November 16th.

Unique 'Lost' Old School Graffiti Posters To Be Revealed Soon

Twenty years ago 4 of the most famous graffiti artists - John 'CRASH' Matos, QUIK, NOC167 and BILL BLAST - allowed for a ONE TIME limited edition print of 4 of their absolute historical masterworks from the eighties. By that time only 2.500 reproductions per masterwork were made and now few of them are left.

Today, at the 40th anniversary of New York Graffiti Street Art, The Graffiti Collection announces the re-release of these remaining high quality Old School Graffiti Art Posters to you.

One of the posters is a reproduction of a famous early 1983 work by John 'Crash' Matos called Reflections.

The Graffiti Collection has opened a Notification List for those who want to be updated on the release of these posters. Find it at http://www.thegraffiticollection.com/ .
