Blade, Steven Ogburn, född 1958 Amerika, sprayfärg och blandteknik på duk, 50,5x60,5cm, signerad och daterad BLADE 2004 BLADE started writing in the early 1970s and continued into the 1980s. From 1975 to 1980 BLADE was a dominant force on the 2s and 5s. It was like almost every other train had a BLADE whole car running on it. BLADE's Style was very unique, he did not follow the crowd. His work could never be confused with anyone else. He did not adhere to any set notions of style or trends common to other writers. BLADE did not do wild style; yet still had incredibly imaginative letter forms. He did lettering and imagery that played with perspective and the abstraction of geometric shapes. His style was so distinguished that it drew criticism from many writers, stating that it wasn't graffiti style. But BLADE's admirers far out numbered his critics. M
