ABOVE is
an international street artist who has deliberately chosen
to keep his identity concealed. He was born in California in
1981 and has been creating public art since 1995. Above is known
for his multi-layer, full color social and political stencils,
spinning wooden arrow-shaped kinetic artinstallations, and large
text-based painted murals. Above's artworks regardless of medium
usually have a strong message or awareness about social, political or
international current events. Above began painting graffiti by
tagging (writing his ABOVE graffiti signature) on freight trains in
California in 1995. At the age of 19, Above moved to Paris,
France, where he started painting his trademark arrow icon pointing
'above.' Since 2001 Above has self-financed annual tours around
the world, with each tour exploring a new part of the world and often
a new medium or style of artwork. During the past 14 years Above has
painted artworks in the streets of 100+ cities in 60+ different
countries around the world.
