OG Abel

“OG Abel” as many of us know him by, grew up in South Central Los Angeles on 92nd St between Hoover and Figueroa. An area infested with crime, gangs and violence.

Sirens, gunshots and police helicopters were a permanent ambiance to his young life. Its a place where most kids arm themselves at an early age for protection. For him, art was his refuge and his weapon of choice was the spray paint can. It became an escape from all the hardships surrounding him throughout his youth. It helped him avert the gang lifestyle and becoming another victim of the streets of Los Angeles.

Abel’s unique style is sought out by many. His early passion for graffiti as well as his present mediums of choice have spread his art throughout the globe like a Southern California wild fire.
