Description

Rock Fresh is an electrifying documentary on the world of the graffiti artist, presenting a raw and gritty snapshot of five of the world's most legendary street artists as they make the leap from graffiti art to commercial art. The artists Axis, Clae, Kofie, Trixter, and Tyer have been commissioned for work by a wide range of companies including Nike, Universal, Gucci, MTV, and Red Bull. Footage reveals step-by-step how colors blend, how angles sharpen, how shadows emerge, lifting the veil from a subculture so clandestine, it took 40 years to get this close. Explore surfaces as various as concrete, canvas, and metal, and locations such as rooftops, deserts, lofts, sewers, and the forest. Meet artists painfully coming of age, from childhood sketchbooks to the adult struggles of living off of art. Learn about the underground codes that butt against the lure of the mainstream in this fascinating program.
