This interactive graffiti art installation, featuring Los Angeles-based artist Vyal from Risk Rock Studios, will showcase multiple live demonstrations and will allow Aftershock artists and fans the chance to add to the exhibit. Vyal Reyes began his career as an artist in 1990, when he dedicated himself to using spray paint as his "weapon of choice" to create art. A self-taught artist, Vyal’s work quickly grabbed the attention of fellow graffiti artists as well as galleries in Los Angeles and around the globe.

Vyal Reyes began his career as an artist in 1990, when he dedicated himself to using spray paint as his "weapon of choice" to create art. A self-taught artist, Vyal’s work quickly grabbed the attention of fellow graffiti artists as well as galleries in Los Angeles and around the globe. Although his work has evolved, it is still recognizable as his own, with bright colors, refined shading and complex yet simple approaches to his medium and surfaces. His trademark "eyes" always find a way into his pieces. When he is not painting murals or canvases, Vyal teaches aerosol art classes to youth and adults at Self Help Graphics in Boyle Heights, CA, where he has been an artist in residence since 2011.
