RIOT is a graffiti artist and illustrator born in Austria, living and working in Berlin since 11 years. Before he began exhibiting his work in galleries, Riot was active in the early Berlin graffiti movement, alongside Space Invader and Zevs. In the 2000s, Riot began a performative project called “Love Graffiti” in which he would spray paint the name of someone’s lover at an address of his or her choosing. His later works continued to employ line, text, and clean-edged geometry. In 2012, he created a large-scale installation titled Riot City, resembling a city based on Paris and New York in miniature scale with neon lighting.
