GIZ MTA is a prominent graffiti writer from New York City. After a lifetime of sacrificing his body, mind and freedom for graffiti, GIZ has arrived at a point where his work is revered from the streets of New York City to the galleries of London, Amsterdam and Paris.
His story is one of pain, joy and experience. Coming up in a crime-ridden New York City, GIZ suffered multiple stabbings from robberies over gear, served time in prison and lost many friends to street violence.
As a key member of the MTA crew, Most Talked About, GIZ contributed to the legacy of a group that became legend; not only for their volume & visibility, but also the iconic figures within the crew, include the late grate VE, and DESA.
GIZ transitioned from illegal street graffiti to fine art and sculpture by gradually adapting his techniques into formats that could be appreciated within a gallery setting. His sculpture work brings his throw-up into a tangible, tactile form, adding a new dimension to his art and allowing him to create pieces that resonate within both urban and fine art spaces.
