It was a great opening, with a large eclectic group of artists. Definitely some heavy hitters.

Saber- “Mini Birdwatching”

In case you missed this one….Saber talks about his battle with Epilepsy and Insurance Companies, being a finalist in Organizing For America’s “Health Care Reform Video Challenge” and the conservative reaction, the Release of his “Flag 2010″ Print Edition, and what the American Flag symbolizes to him.

I just want to thank everyone for their interest in this edition. I appreciate the support and I look forwards to creating more work. I have been receiving some touching emails, specifically from those who are affected by Epilepsy. I will to continue to shed some light on our predicament on the state of health care in this country through my art. As long as I live I will be a representative of the graffiti art culture and I hope to push further into the veins of Art History with the help of my Friends, Family and people like you who believe in what we do.

Saber’s Mini Flag linoleum print is only the size of a credit card. As we enter 2010, bailed-out out banks are giving out millions in bonuses while raising fees on their customers. I don’t know about you, but I believe that a symbol of America that is within reach of “we the people” is better than any cheap plastic promise.

Never one to shy away from controversy, Saber has been up to some very interesting things lately… Watch the video and see what he’s been producing; in and out of the studio…

We’re very excited to announce the release of the highly anticipated (thanks to Arrested Motion), “Flag 2010″ limited edition serigraph by Saber.

The main point of these was to create some accessible art. I want anyone who wants to become a collector to be able to afford something.  From the carving to the printing and then the hand touching, I like being able to do everything in studio. I printed them on mini pieces of archival paper card stock. They’re in small editions and are priced between $15-$30.

Many of you may remember the video that Saber produced for the “Organizing For America’s Health Care Reform Video Challenge” (if not, take a look after the jump). Although he was demonized by some of the media for “defacing” the American flag, anyone with a little common sense would see his painting as an “interpretation of the American flag being overwhelmed by the language of his personal struggle with our country’s system of medical care.” Battling epilepsy himself, the graffiti artist felt he had to get involved in the country’s debate on such a personal topic.

Taking it a step further, Saber is collaborating with Modern Multiples (who we visited in November), on what looks to be a 8-10 color screenprint. Take a look at some behind the scenes images after the jump…
