Rock Fresh is an electrifying documentary on the world
of the graffiti artist. A raw snapshot of artists who literally have their back against the wall, the
film follows five of the world’s most legendary street artists as they make the leap from graffiti art
to commercial art. From the street to the gallery. From walls to clothing. From private to worldwide.
Our cameras unmask the mystifying process behind graffiti art like never before. Revealing step-by-step
how the colors blend, how the angles sharpen, how the shadows emerge. Lifting the veil from a subculture
so clandestine, it took 40 years to get this close.
The artists take their skills to a variety of surfaces –concrete, canvas, metal,
cloth, and brick. And to an array of locations - city rooftops, the desert, downtown lofts, the sewers,
even the forest. Rock Fresh also reveals artists painfully coming of age. From kids drawing
in their sketchbooks, to grown men struggling to make a living off of their art. Struggling between the
codes of the underground and the lure of the mainstream.
Journey through the buzzing underground art world - from live graffiti battles
and gallery showcases, to underground parties and late night bombing sessions, Hollywood alleyways to
Tokyo skyscrapers. Learn what it takes to Rock Fresh.
