During the 1980's, a young Zevs still in his teens, met Tim Westwood, one of the most influential figures of the 1980's London hip-hop scene. This encounter with Westwood and other artists from the hip-hop and house music industry such as Paul Oakenfold and Dougie E. Fresh provided Zeus with an opportunity to explore the potential of graffiti as a valid form of art. Graffiti art is gradually gaining recognition as an affirmative art of our time. However, what differentiates Zeus' art from other graffiti art is its sheer three-dimensional existence. The unique fusion of graffiti with typography and sculpture animates cliche images of graffiti often associated with mere vandalism and juvenile self-expression.
