MEAR ONE (Kalen Ockerman) has been at the forefront of Los Angeles graffiti and mural art culture for nearly three decades. He is famous for starting the Melrose graffiti art movement in the late 1980s and is considered by many to be Los Angeles’ most prolific public muralist. At the start of his career, MEAR gained public recognition for having combined graffiti and Fine Arts. He was the first graffiti artist to exhibit at the famous 01 Gallery on Melrose, as well as 33 1/3 Gallery in Silverlake, where Banksy would later make his first North American exhibition. MEAR ONE’s work was part of the 2011 Art in the Streets exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. He is known to create powerful images mixing philosophy, ancient mythology and modern politics in order to change consciousness. This interpretation of reality is achieved through a balance between realism and the supernatural. MEAR ONE helps us envision the sublime spirit of our time – not by escaping reality, but by confronting it.
