Mear One x Dr Revolt at DirtyPilot
Tuesday March 16, 2010 |

Mear’s works are meant to bring the unseen mysteries locked with in our minds to the foreground as if to take part in a grand expose`. The question of how did we become, and why. To see through the illusion of our decrepit social condition and speak out with art as a weapon of mass liberation.
On the other hand, Dr Revolt has graffiti roots stemming from the early 1970s. Revolt is an original member of the historic NYC subway graffiti crew, The Rolling Thunder Writers (RTW). Known for his ultra-colorful tags and elaborate pieces on the Broadway #1 line, with heavily influenced psychedelic and comic art stylings, and later, taking it “all-city”.
With contributions to the seminal classic hip-hop films, “Wild Style and “Style Wars”, his participation in the 80s East Village art gallery scene, various music videos and, album covers, animation, comics, vinyl toy design, and creating the classic “YO! MTV Raps’ logo. His early 80s tour of duty in the city of Baltimore is legendary, where he, like a “Messenger of Style”, single-handedly kick started a graffiti scene there that still feels his influence today.
