Future Language of the Ikonoklast: A Visual History of the Ikonoklast Movement
By Remi Rough
Published by Velocity Press

A definitive visual archive of one of Europe’s most radical post-graffiti movements.

In Future Language of the Ikonoklast, legendary artist Remi Rough documents the untold story of the Ikonoklast Movement—a pioneering post-graffiti collective founded in 1989 that redefined street art in the UK and beyond.

Formed by Juice 126 and comprised of Rough, Part2, Stormboy, System, Tee Roc, and Solo1, the Ikonoklasts rejected traditional graffiti’s limitations and developed a bold new visual language. This boundary-pushing group drew inspiration from NYC iconoclast Ramm:Ell:Zee and European avant-garde aesthetics, sparking both admiration and controversy in equal measure.

Spanning 256 pages and featuring hundreds of previously unseen photographs, sketches, and artworks, this hardback monograph captures the crew’s evolution from raw experimentation in the 1990s to their enduring influence on contemporary urban art. Printed on premium heavyweight paper, the book offers a richly detailed view into a transformative era in graffiti history—before the rise of digital documentation.

Whether you're a fan of Remi Rough, a scholar of graffiti culture, or a collector of street art books, Future Language of the Ikonoklast is a must-have addition to your library.
