Maser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today.
Maser in an Irish artist, who began painting graffiti on the street of Dublin as early as 1995 under the moniker ‘Maser’, soon earning the respect of other graffiti artists in Ireland and Europe. The artist is ambitious and unafraid to experiment with any artistic format. His artistic practice includes large-scaled murals, works on canvas, sculptures, prints, immersive installations, and interactive exhibitions.
His early work, such as ‘They Are Us’ Project (2010) was strongly influenced by typography, letter forms and sign painting, but soon after 2010 his style gradually began to transition towards graphic representation and geometric abstraction. His unique technique emphasizes simplicity of form, complimented by bold colours.
Since 1995 his passion and drive has awarded him the opportunity to paint walls across many countries, including Ireland, UK, Austria, Germany, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United States.
His large-scale mural work and his collaborations with artists such as musician Damien Dempsey, TED prize winner – JR, ConnorHarrington, and Fintan Magee have won him notoriety not only in the world of graffiti, but also have helped establish him in the contemporary art world.
In recent years his work has allowed him to explore new mediums and produce works not only on walls but now canvas, video and large-scale 3D installations. Most recently he was invited as one of 11 selected artists to produce a film to accompany the songs on U2’s 13th studio album ‘Songs of Innocence’.
In 2013 he worked with Tandem Press at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin, USA to create an edition of fine art prints, which were recently exhibited at IFPDA Print Fair 2014, New York, Ink Miami, and Expo Chicago.
