Saber (artist)

Saber (born 1976, Glendale, California) is an American graffiti artist, and painter working in Los Angeles.

Career

He has painted in the Los Angeles area and in San Francisco, and was interviewed by Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine for the July 2007 issue.[1]

Saber is most famous for a large piece he did on the concrete bank of the Los Angeles River in 1997. Remarkable not only for sheer size, Saber's LA River piece was a complex 'piece' and remained for 12 years. In 2004, Saber recreated the piece in a diorama of the river for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County exhibit, L.A.: light / motion / dreams.[2] In 2007, the piece was included in the KCET project Departures: LA River.

In 2010 Saber filmed a video of himself painting an American flag and painting words over it. Saber discussed it with news networks such as Fox News and MSNBC.[3]
