Revssculpt2In the New York graffiti world of the early 1990’s, Revs was everywhere: the name Revs could be found
scrawled, wheat-pasted or painted in gargantuan white letters on

reincarnated himself as a
sculptor. He has made dozens of
works using construction-grade steel and other metal parts and has
sought the permission of building owners to weld and bolt them to the
outsides of buildings in the meatpacking district, the East Village,
the Gowanus Canal area and Dumbo, where the gentrifying but still
half-deserted streets have become a veritable Revs gallery.
