Above began his work with in Paris, France, in January 2002 painting on walls, busses and everything in between. Since, he’s moved to Chico California while gaining a strong reputation as a leading force in street art. This past summer he had one goal set for himself and his arrow mobiles. It took over seven months from start to finish for the 348 Mobiles to be fabricated in their weatherproofed form. This past summer Above embarked on his 60 day “Road Trip” with the sole intention of hanging his arrow mobiles in as many major cities across North America as possible. Travelling to new cities with a rental van stacked to the roof with mobiles, his only passenger being his trusty fold-out periscope ladder he scored on ebay, Above traveled more than 5000 miles making headlines in 13 major cities ranging from Los Angeles to Toronto spreading his positive message to “Rise Above”.
