GIZ, born in 1977 in New York City, is a distinguished name in the realm
of graffiti art, celebrated for his vibrant and transformative work
that bridges the gritty urban landscapes of NYC with the polished
echelons of the gallery scene. Beginning his artistic journey at the
tender age of 10 in 1988, GIZ rapidly became synonymous with the energetic and rebellious spirit of street art. His early ventures into graffiti were marked by an audacious campaign of “bombing” clean NYC subway trains, embedding his mark on the city’s moving canvases. In the early ’90s, GIZ initiated the ‘MTA’ (Most Talked About) street-bombing campaign, which saw his and his crew’s work spread across the five boroughs of New York City. This period of intense creative output solidified his reputation and laid the foundations for his evolution as an artist.
