MEAR ONE
MEAR ONE has been at the forefront of LA’s graffiti & mural culture for nearly three decades. He is famous for having pioneered the Melrose graffiti art movement in the late 80s & is considered by many to be LA’s most prolific public muralist. Early on in his career, MEAR gained his recognition for building the bridge between graffiti art & fine art. He was the first graffiti artist to exhibit at the infamous 01 Gallery on Melrose & 33 1/3 Gallery in Silverlake, where Banksy would later debut his first North American show. He is perhaps best known for constructing powerful narratives juxtaposing philosophy, ancient mythology and modern politics to inspire an evolved conscious. This interpretation of reality is achieved through balanced dialogue surrealism and the metaphysical. MEAR ONE helps us envision the sublime spirit of our time – not by escaping reality, but by confronting it head on.
