The
Street Phantom is the voice of his generation. The spirit of the time.
You have seen the anonymous Street Phantoms work before - Stark silhouetted
body figures with provocative text such as " Art Saves Lives" and " Looking
for America." These highly politicized street spectacles address post-apocalyptic
urban decay and contemporary social issues, responding with charged timely
phrases that confront problems of our day such as AIDS, racism, domestic
violence, censorship and media alienation. The Street Phantom uses urban
walls as a canvas for commentary of political expression. 
The
Street Phantom is the spokesperson of our time, effecting change through
mobilizing individual activism. The artist coins political phrases that
reach out to our generation in need of a voice of representation. The elusive
street artist comments on our social conditions by voicing thoughts of
a personal and intimate nature which transcends cultural prejudices.
The LA Times calls the Street
Phantom, " King of the Night." Arena Magazine says the artist is, "The
shadow of the times". Rage against the Machines MTV 1996 award winning
clip "Bulls On Parade" has received international recognition. Other appearances
include in Video: U2 "Where the Streets Have No Name", New Order,
Steve Earl and Concrete Blond, Soul Asylum's appearance at the MTV 1994
Music Video Awards. Lollapalooza II and IV. Movie credits include the Documentary
Graffiti Verite'; feature films Lost Angeles, Colors, The Living End and
Point Break.
The Artist believes in effectively
raising a level of social conscious and personal inquiry through usurping
the power of mass media as a vehicle for awareness. The Artist chooses
to speak to the psyche of our nations alienated youth, representing a generation
in search of a sign.
