| Los Angeles based graffiti legend SABER, is world renowned for his "Los Angeles River" piece (1997), the largest in the world. His piece on the sloping bank of the Los Angeles River is nearly the size of a football field, and can be read clear as day from a satellite photo. In a famous photograph — taken by his father just after it was completed — SABER stands on the piece and appears as a tiny speck amid a giant blaze of color. |

| About the Artist: |
 |
| SABER |
| Born in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale, SABER was raised by creative parents and discovered his passion for art at an early age. At 13, his cousins introduced him to graffiti when they took him to see the spray paint-covered Belmont Tunnel. And from that moment on, he was hooked. After honing his skills on local walls, SABER joined MSK, and was later inducted into legendary piecing crew AWR. |
| SABER has also worked in design, taking jobs for Harley-Davidson and Levis, on movie sets and music videos, and was commissioned by Hyundai and Scion to airbrush cars. |
| July 2009, SABER held his first solo exhibition "Close Encounters" at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco. |
