"Skate" was a graffiti artist run over by a Metrolink train. The press and the public cheered that now there was "one less vandal". Zero One is an art gallery in Hollywood showing rude, crude, outsider, and outlaw art that makes the "high art" crowd shudder. But that same work can also be smart and gorgeous, too interesting and too insightful to ignore. Some of our favorite artists and favorite pieces have come through Zero One. Chaz is one of them.
