SABER's work is unreal. I can identify with his grey tones pallet. I appreciate black and white photography and love to see tones of grey. Grey is a great inlay to the RISK and REVOK walls. As a kid, SABER was obsessed with Robotech, Transformers, and Gothic churches. If you go to SABER's blog you can read an enlightening article about his experiences painting on the same walls as RISK and REVOK two of the great graffiti artists highlighted in the Art in the Streets show. SABER talks about only painting when he is in the flow otherwise he is not as satisfied. The worst thing you can do is ask an artist, " are you going to paint today?" They will paint when they darn well feel like it. Stupid question. The title of his wall is "sacred trash' because it represents the two sides of Graffiti, 'sacred' or 'disposable.' SABER is a former SF Art Institute guy experienced in painting and letter-based metal sculpture.
