This artwork by Risk is part of his "Street Sign" series, a tribute to his decades of graffiti work. The piece is painted on an actual octagonal street sign, traditionally used for stop signs. The word "STOP" is prominently featured, with the addition of the word "NEVER" handwritten above, transforming the message into "NEVER STOP." The background is adorned with splashes of vibrant colors, primarily red, along with blue and pink accents, giving it an urban, expressive feel. Multiple blue butterflies rest on the sign, symbolizing transformation and contrast, adding a delicate touch to the bold street art style. The work is characteristic of Risk’s signature blending of graffiti culture with fine art, celebrating his roots as a pioneer in street art while imbuing a message of perseverance and positivity. Each painting in this series is unique, reflecting Risk's personal journey and influence in the urban art scene.
