Above is a US based street artist whose signature ‘arrow’ motif is displayed across streets worldwide and more recently, the facade of the Nelly Duff gallery! Since 2001 the artist has completed a series of annual tours, exploring different parts of the world and spreading his art across the globe, whilst developing his style and experimenting with a series of mediums.

Above’s emotive coloured arrows carry a strong message, often used to highlight and spread awareness of social, political or international current events. The artist has painted across 100+ cities in 60+ different countries, spurred on by the mantra of American Poet & Philosopher Henry David Thoreau; ‘Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.’ Above’s ever inspiring work encourages others to do the same!
