"Add more colour back to the city,
add more life" - Saber
I came across Saber's recent work whilst scanning through Hypebeast Art section. Saber is well known within graffiti scene as part of the group of Seventh letter and has recently announced his exhibition soon to be taken place this month in the U.S. His passion for graffiti is strong, as shown in the video and has a unique eye towards the art. By using his skill of graffiti Saber aims to show the history and layers of graffiti rather than a personal subject, he also mentions adding colour back to the city which i found to be an interesting statement. Could graffiti change emotions of people? i.e. make them happy,sad or angry. Could us as humans contain a bunch of colours described as happiness, but are being concealed by grey and darkness as our everyday routine in life?
Asking myself question such as these cause me to think about them myself, i look forward to what it is that Saber discovers in his exhibition and other peoples opinions on the subject.
