Career[]
He has painted in the Los Angeles area and in San Francisco, and was interviewed by Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine for the July 2007 issue.[1]
Saber is most famous for a large piece he did on the concrete bank of the Los Angeles River in 1997. Remarkable not only for sheer size, Saber's LA River piece was a complex 'piece' and remained for 12 years. In 2004, Saber recreated the piece in a diorama of the river for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County exhibit, L.A.: light / motion / dreams.[2] In 2007, the piece was included in the KCET project Departures: LA River.
In 2010 Saber filmed a video of himself painting an American flag and painting words over it. Saber discussed it with news networks such as Fox News and MSNBC.[3]
