"Each of Shock UC MSK's paintings is a layered response to place, pressure, and presence-built on the legacy of graffiti and in the language of painting."
SHOCK UC MSK is a Minneapolis-based painter, sculptor, and multidisciplinary artist known for transforming salvaged industrial materials into emotionally charged works of art. A member of the legendary MSK crew, Shock blends the language of graffiti with the formal concerns of contemporary painting, creating large-scale installations and studio works that speak with urgency, clarity, and soul. Rooted in the cultures of the Midwest and shaped by decades of movement, his practice spans abstraction, figuration, sculpture, and site-specific work.
