In 1989, six visionary graffiti artists (Rough, Part2, Stormboy, System, Tee Roc and Solo1) were invited to join a groundbreaking new collective spearheaded by Juice 126. Guided by his ambitious manifesto, the group sought to break free from the traditional constraints of graffiti, forging a bold path as a ‘post-graffiti supergroup’.
Thus, the Ikonoklast Movement was born—a creative force that revolutionised the boundaries of graffiti art. Their innovative collaborations and solo projects redefined the genre, influencing a generation of European artists. Over 35 years later, the Ikonoklasts remain active, interconnected, and profoundly impactful.
This richly illustrated book is the definitive chronicle of the group’s most groundbreaking works, with a focus on their prolific output during the 1990s. In a time predating the digital age, much of their legacy went undocumented. Now, for the first time, this comprehensive volume celebrates their transformative contributions and ensures their story is no longer overlooked.
The hardback book is 21cm x 17.5 cm, and the 256 pages are printed on premium heavyweight paper. Future Language of the Ikonoklast is due in shops in July, but pre-order now to get a free print and receive it first in May.
There is also a limited edition premium edition with a dust jacket that’s exclusively available to our shop and the cover is available as an A2 (42 cm x 59.4 cm) poster printed on 250gsm gloss-coated paper.
