Lin Felton aka Quik is a New York graffiti legend. Born in 1958, he became known for putting his name on trains in New York and its suburbs. Forty years of working for street art have led him to exhibit all over Europe.
He began tagging on the walls of Queens at the age of 10 under the name Star10. His fascination with this world began when he saw the subway trains covered with moving tags. He took the name Quik and put it everywhere. Solitary, he is not part of any crew.
Close to the theories of Hugo Martinez (UGA) who pushed the graffiti artists to go on canvas, to expose, to consider themselves as artists, he realizes very early canvases. Very socially engaged, his works denounce racial discriminations through the character of Quik. They refer to his private life, the art world and business in a humorous and offbeat way.
His works have become a must on the international scene and have been included in prestigious collections. His works are represented in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York, Studio Museum of Harlem in New York City, the Becht Collection in Amsterdam, the Martin Visser Collection in the Netherlands, the Herning Kunstmuseum in Denmark, the Groninger Museum, the Helmond Museum in the Netherlands, the Henk Pijnenburg Collection, the Rudolph Scharpf Collection, the Martin Wong Collection, the Yaki Korenblit Collection, the Martin Sanders Collection, the Wildenberg Collection, and the Dieter Weber Collection
