SHOK-1's is available for sale as limited-edition prints on his online store.

London-based SHOK-1 ("Shok Oner") is a street artist with a fresh, innovative style reminiscent of rainbow-lit x-ray negatives that he calls "aerosol avant-garde art."
"Red, green and blue light are combined to produce the picture in TVs, computers, mobile phones and practically any other type of screen that you can think of.  Through these three simple colours, information enters our brains and changes them in infinite permutations.

This is an attempt to paint the terrible beautiful power of it all.

In the light of the riots in London while it was painted, I also see the red as symbolising violence and fire, the green for money and envy, and the blue for coldness and the authorities."
