For the first time ever Los Angeles graffiti artist and modern legend Saber will be releasing a print with 1RUN on Monday titled Colores Para Siempre. There will be two editions, a regular one and a hand embellished edition.
"This was created just for the screen print, and it was inspired by a photograph that I took inside the banks of the Los Angeles river. I stumbled upon that particular image in the LA river and it was basically a representation of the post "War On Graffiti" era. So we’re dealing with the aftermath of the billions of dollars that have been spent on removing graffiti art. There is literally a billion dollar project that’s going down in the LA river. Basically everything is summed up with this photo in the sense that you have this buff that has been crumbled off of these old pieces and what's left is this little glimpse of that piece of history." - Saber
The paper on these is super thick, so thick that Saber was able to etch in the paper, so the signatures are all etched in the beige layer, rather than being penciled in, which is kinda cool. Saber used his knife to etch into the paper and it’s so thick that it doesn’t cut through the paper. Check out the video of him "signing" them HERE
Both prints go on sale Monday at NOON EDT at 1xRUN.com
