Above (born circa 1981) has been creating public art
since 1995. He is best known for his up arrows, with the
clever word play. He started spraying trains in Califor-
nia. While moving to Paris at the age of 19 he started
painting his trademark arrow on stores,trucks and made
wooden arrows that he attached high up on city walls.
Since then Above has been traveling around the world
doing many large self financed tours with his artworks
and \"arrow mobile\" installations. In 2004 Above did his
\"USA TOUR\" and drove around the country visiting 14
cities in the USA and Toronto, Canada as well, all while
hanging his spinning arrow mobiles. In 2005 Above
then traveled back to Europe and did a 4 month tour
from Spain to Hungary, Iceland to Rome visiting the
capital cities of each 15 countries he visited. in 2006
Above went even farther and longer during his self titled
\"Sign Language Tour\" in 26 countries around Europe
and the East! (wow) during that tour fellow friend and
artist RIPO also was touring in the same route doing
different art works. Above and Ripo started in late 2007
and are currently touring (until May 2008) South and
Central America. This tour is called the \"South Central
Tour\" and both artists are exploring and creating large
pieces in every country they visit. Having put his
artworks and arrows in over 35+ countries around the
globe and some has made Above one of the major
players in the \"street art\" realm.
