On Thursday October 2nd we got Maser and Gaetan taking over versus. They will be hanging, spraying and sticking and drawing directly onto the walls, ceilings, floors and windows.

Doors open at 6:30PM and there will of course be free beer.

Maser is a Dublin based graffiti artist and has been painting for over ten years in the Irish/International Graffiti scene, painting in such places as, New York, Copenhagen, London, Holland, Belgium, Spain and Sweden. He began studying fine art and continued on to Graduate with distinction in a BA in Design Communication (graphic design). From that he was Awarded Membership of the International Society of Typographic Designers, MISTD.

Within the last 2 years Maser has focused more on his painting/street art and has high ambitions to promote the positive aspects of the graffiti culture to the Irish society. Maser is a member of the TDA Klann and FOES Crew. The TDA Klann is Ireland’s premier graffiti crew, widely known for their unique and innovative style of writing. They have been running Ireland’s only outdoor graffiti festival since 1993 and fronting a movement of emerging talent.

Gaetan Billault

“Originally from France, Gaetan decided to move to Dublin in search of dreams fortune and recognition on the street.

Not saying that he needs it, the work he does stands on its own without introduction, its sparkling in its difference, there’s originality in there. Stark and graphic, sometimes using multimedia and strong character driven designs, has seen him work for locally known Bodytonic on their poster and flyer campaigns and work for a special fair trade idea ‘Leaf’ and his work for Mongrel and the Fringe Festival all add up.

A little bit psychedelic and beautiful.
