Is this an original shock-1 early work

I got this about 3 years ago not sure if it’s the real deal

Whatever it is, it looks cool and seems to be huge!
Have you tried to ask the man himself?

[tonijean]

Yes I’ve tried but had no reply it’s on a larger canvas it’s probably about 8ft long it’s also signed shok-1 I can get another photo of the signature was hoping someone might no more than me I’m from Nottinghamshire and if I’m right that’s where he lived for a short while in the 80s

Couple more close ups the size is 7x5ft

I found this from shok1 site seem a similar work

[mikeydread]

imho it could indeed be by Shok1.

I've seen older pieces of his work & this looks to be this style before he developed his XRay series of works.

I'm guessing your canvas would of been for a very early show so maybe dig in that direction.

Surprised he hasnt answered you though. Shame.

Did you drop him a message on Instagram? instagram.com/shok_1
Or you could use the contact form on his website: store.shok1.com/pages/contact

I would try an Insta direct msg.
But also write on his last post that you have sent a DM. If he doesnt follow you it'll end up in requests which usually takes me a few days to find on mine.
You can also msg on his site contact page but I'd refrain from a full blown assault. That pisses people off

[tonijean]

Thanks for that might give it a try
