Draft:Ramse

Submission declined on 19 May 2025 by Sophisticatedevening (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Rams (Graffiti Artist) Rams is a contemporary graffiti artist from Auckland, New Zealand, best known for his large-scale, high-risk urban graffiti works. He is an active member of the internationally recognized Mad Society Kings (MSK) crew, one of the most influential graffiti collectives in the world.

Early Life and Background Rams was born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand. His early exposure to street culture and public art in the urban environments of New Zealand sparked his interest in graffiti. He began painting in his teenage years, quickly developing a reputation for his technical precision and fearless approach to large-format graffiti.

Career Rams rose to prominence within the street art community through his membership in MSK, a collective known for pushing the boundaries of graffiti as both an art form and cultural movement. His signature works often involve highly visible, difficult-to-access locations, earning him a reputation for risk-taking and innovation.

In 2024, Rams gained international attention after scaling and painting the unfinished 45 Park Place skyscraper in New York City, leaving his name in bold letters on the building’s upper floors. This daring feat was widely covered in media outlets, with street art expert Roger Gastman describing it as "a historic example of urban graffiti’s enduring spirit."

Style and Techniques Rams is recognized for his large-scale letterforms, bold color schemes, and highly stylized typography. His work often utilizes advanced climbing and rigging techniques to access extreme locations, including rooftops, cranes, and skyscrapers. His fearless execution and technical skill have made him a respected figure in the international graffiti scene.

Legacy and Impact As a member of MSK, Rams continues to contribute to the evolution of graffiti culture. His work not only challenges the limits of what is considered "street art" but also inspires a new generation of graffiti artists worldwide. He remains an active participant in the global graffiti community, balancing underground practice with public recognition.

Media Coverage Rams' work has been featured in several street art documentaries, urban art exhibitions, and international news outlets, including Artnet News and Street Art News. His exploits continue to attract both admiration and controversy, reflecting the complex cultural status of graffiti in contemporary society.
