Lin Felton

Lin Felton, known as QUIK, is an American graffiti artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York.

At the age of ten, he was already painting on subway trains, marking the "Star 10" as he called himself at first. Two years later, he took the pseudonym QUIK, under which he later became internationally known. In the early 1980s, he was attending PRATT Institute and Parsons School of Design when he was discovered by a prominent Dutch art dealer.

Felton has developed recognizable satirical comic imagery that he extends far beyond simple taglines, introducing both social and personal issues into his paintings. The theme of racial inequality in American society became prevalent in his work, combined with cynical juxtapositions of popular cartoon characters, pin-up girls, and writing on walls.

Although today Felton's work can be seen in numerous galleries and museums in the United States, Japan, Europe and Hong Kong, his real passion remained on walls and on trains, which even landed him in jail several times.
