Rarely do we find MEAR ONE works available on the secondary market. While his collectors prefer to HODL, sometimes the art of letting go is just as powerful in order to amplify and empower the artwork’s message for the next generation. Thus, we are pleased to offer this mint condition fine art print edition from the artist’s sold out 2016 release of “FALSE PROFITS,” courtesy of the collector.

Collector’s Statement:

"As a publicly known whistleblower at Goldman Sachs this painting is something I bought when I was going through my legal battles and gave me strength because it had a simple message: "All we have to do is stand up". And as we go through this time of financial upheaval I wanted to share this piece of art with someone who may be looking to have the power this image provides. We no longer have need for the middle man nor authority figure granting permission and dictating the rules in a free market. These positions are becoming obsolete because our consciousness has expanded. And this is what they fear the most and is the cause for much of the chaos seen around the world. Those in power want to remain in power at any cost, but these bad actors have played their final hand and the majority of us see right through their scripted pointless rhetoric and propaganda that has plagued humanity."

About the Artist:

MEAR ONE has been at the forefront of LA’s graffiti and mural culture for nearly three decades. He is famous for having pioneered the Melrose graffiti art movement in the late 80s and 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 and fine art. He was the first graffiti artist to exhibit at the infamous 01 Gallery on Melrose, as well as at 33 1/3 Gallery in Silverlake, where Banksy would later debut his first North American show. MEAR ONE’s work was part of the landmark "Art in the Streets" 2011 exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art as well as the Pasadena Museum’s “Street Cred” exhibition that same year. His works reside in the permanent collection of the Laguna Museum of Fine Arts, The Chambers Project, as well as many other prominent private collections. He is perhaps best known for constructing powerful narratives juxtaposing philosophy, ancient mythology and modern politics to inspire an evolved consciousness. This interpretation of reality is achieved through balanced dialogue between 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.
