TKID dit, Julius Robert (born 1961) Wild Style, 1992 Color ink on paper, signed and dated upper left Dimensions: 23.5 x 29.5 cm A certificate of authenticity will be given to the buyer. Framed In 1977, young T-Kid was wounded in a gang shooting, narrowly escaping death. Handcuffed to his hospital bed and convalescing for several weeks, he decided to become "Terrible Kid-170". Barely out of the hospital, T-Kid repainted the lines of the New York subway, developing a unique style inspired by pop culture through graffiti lettering enriched with characters. Today, considered one of the spearheads of original graffiti, he continues to exhibit his work around the world.
