Style Masters Exhibition at NYU

Style Masters is a visual art exhibit celebrating some of the pioneering artists that helped shape the worldwide public art phenomenon know as graffiti. Curated by Alan Ket and Joshua Ivory, Style Masters focuses on the works of artists from the 70s to the early 80s who influenced and changed the world of graffiti and popular culture. The works exhibited are replicas of original pieces that ran on the NYC subway when trains provided the only canvasses to which the artists had access. Artists include: RIFF 170, PART ONE, CHAIN 3, FUZZ ONE, NOC 167, T-KID 170, PESO 131, TACK, and BUTCH 2.

Ket grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, he fell in love with Hip Hop culture and the graffiti art movement, During his college days at New York University, he founded STRESS, a publication dedicated to celebrating urban communities, Hip Hop culture and educating youth about their rights. This magazine went on to have international distribution and being translated into Spanish language as well. Through Stress magazine, Ket created a program with Riker’s Island prison to donate magazines to inmates and to take Hip Hop musicians to perform at the prison system in order to reduce violence and connect them with the outside world. He was also one of the founders of Black August, a collective made up of Stress magazine staff and The Malcolm X Grassroots movement, in order to raise money and support for political prisoners and exchange music and ideas with youth in countries with emerging Hip Hop scenes like Cuba. Most recently he was a founder of Complex magazine along with Marc Ecko, and started a publishing imprint, From Here to Fame, to preserve Hip Hop’s rich history and to provide an imprint for marginalized writers and artists. He also has served as a consultant to Ecko Unlimited on both their apparel and video game businesses, MTV, Lugz, Vibe magazine, PepsiCo, Timberland, Azzure Denim, and many other brands.
