Futura 2000 in conversation with Chino BYI.
Futura 2000 is a legendary graffiti writer, designer, and painter who emerged in the 1970s as part of New York City's first wave of subway graffiti writers.
He began tagging subway trains under the name "Futura 2000" and was one of the first artists to bring graffiti into galleries. In the early 1980s, he collaborated with The Clash, painting live on stage during their concerts and designing artwork for their albums, which helped introduce graffiti to a broader international audience.
His work spans fine art, fashion, and commercial collaborations. He’s partnered with brands like Nike, Supreme, Levi’s, BMW, and Off-White, often blurring the lines between street culture and high design. He’s also known for his character "Pointman", a recurring figure in his art and toy design.
Today, Futura is celebrated as a pioneer whose influence has shaped generations of artists across disciplines.
