Robert Risko (born November 11, 1956 in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania) is an American caricature artist known for his retro airbrush style. He began his career by following in the footsteps of his mentor Andy Warhol and moved to New York City from Pittsburgh. He started drawing iconic celebrity portraits in his inimitable graphic style for Warhol’s trendy downtown Interview Magazine. His hard edged airbrush style was an instant hit. Risko was influenced by the shiny aesthetic of the 1970s and the Deco revival taking place in New York City at the time. Risko recalls, “New York was a petrie dish of creativity back then with people like Mapplethorpe and Madonna pushing the envelope. It was an amazing time to be starting out then.”
Today Risko divides his time between New York City and Easthampton, NY. He is currently working on a children’s book. He has also been published in books such as Fame (1979), Fame II (1981), and The Risko Book, a collection of 180 of his pieces.
