The OG - Interview w/ Street Artist & Curator: ReviseCMW

The OG - Interview w/ Street Artist & Curator: ReviseCMW

In between a schedule that would make most feel overwhelmed, Artist Replete was able to sit down with a very unique artist. We are using the word "artist" in a general form for this interview. This is because Won Kim aka ReviseCMW just doesn't stop creating. From the menu at Kimski (as the Head Chef) to Djing weekly events, all while squeezing in time to paint when he can, the list goes on. Surprisingly, through it all he's able to give each outlet full attention when the time calls.

 

 

When or better yet how, did this fast paced lifestyle of constant creation form? What makes some of the most respected Chicago street artists follow his lead? Artists like Max Sansing have been known to collaborate with Revise on a regular basis. He has even helped other artists such as, Rawooh advance in their careers. In an era where many seem to just look out for themselves, this is a guy who looks out for any artist he believes in without ever asking for anything in return.

 

His voyage started just over two decades ago in the notorious graffiti crew, Chicago's Most Wanted, more commonly known as 'CMW' throughout public spaces within Chicago. 'CMW' is a crew known for daring tag displays in areas where many other artists won't venture. Most major windy city expressways were hit at one time or another by this crew. What many fail to realize is behind the graffiti are artists with relentless devotion. Some of which become major stars in the art world. During this stage however, the vast majority are overlooked as nothing more than just vandals with a niche audience.
"Back in those times it was all or nothing. Even though I've always been afraid of heights, I still pushed forward. It's funny, I guess you could say I matured a lot from doing immature things. Yes, it's illegal but this is a part of who am and we aren't hurting anyone."

 

  

As the years progressed, the tag ReviseCMW evolved into a cross between graffiti and abstract art. In an almost subconscious-like effort, the once labeled graffiti vandal began to be looked at differently. The consistent experimentation (note the name "revise") within his craft created an abstract painter. One who happens to favor the use of a spray paint can over a traditional brush.

 

  

To make ends meat, Won cooked during the day, which evolved right alongside his artwork. This fused the way for many restaurants throughout the city of Chicago to request art by Revise in their interior. He even managed to create a new atmosphere for Schwa (seen above), an internationally ranked michelin star restaurant. Diners ironically now pay top dollar to eat next to artwork that evolved illegally.
 

"As I've gotten older, I've realized there is a cultural disconnect between creative fields. Some people will pay five hundred dollars for a dinner that lasts only a few hours. Yet, some of these same people are hesitant to spend that amount on artwork that would last a lifetime. Possibly even go up in value. I can only hope that both worlds learn to understand each other better as time goes on."

    Hi everyone. I am Olivia Melissa from Montreal, Canada

    I was one of the victims of a Crypto investment scam that saw me lose $402,500 worth of crypto.

    The crypto market is very volatile and a lot of individuals have lost some of their crypto coins and crypto assets to these online scams. My wallet address was compromised and I don’t know how they got a hold of my recovery phrase, but I was wiped out by these scam attacks. I lost all my crypto coins ( ethereum, Btc & USDT) and this left me devastated and depressed.

    I could have been homeless if it was not for the intervention of TROJAN HACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY a well-known and highly trusted crypto recovery agency whom I contacted through a colleague of mine, I filed a complaint and provided them with all the information including screenshots of the transactions. TROJANHACK was able to recover my crypto assets in less than 48 hours.

    I was totally in awe of how quickly and efficiently they were able to access my stolen crypto and recover my crypto wallet and assets. I’m highly impressed and I recommend their services to everyone. Truly information is very valuable and without the help of TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.

    I could have been homeless and left in a pitiful state. I’m very thankful for their help and I’m glad there is a safe way to fully recover crypto assets since the authorities cannot do anything to help get back lost funds. TROJANHACK was able to help me trace these Conmen with their sophisticated cyber tools.

    You can easily contact TROJANHACK with the following information;

    I lost my crypto assets through keylogger attacks; someone hacked my desktop computer and got access to my wallet login information making me lose all my assets in cryptocurrency and gaining access to my private information. These conmen started texting me blackmailing me with it hoping I’d send money to them. I went to the authorities but they couldn’t pinpoint the location of these conmen, however, while I was scrolling through the internet, I saw an article about MorphoHack Cybersecurity, a cyber security and crypto recovery company, I hurriedly contacted them and provided all the information I had gathered, and to my surprise, MorphoHack Cybersecurity was able to recover my wallet with my assets still intact and was able to trace the location of these individuals who have been defrauding other people, I’m truly grateful for the service of MorphoHack Cybersecurity, and if you are in the same situation as I was, you can contact them to help you out with it.
