SharkPod #19 ”Art -An Integrated Lifestyle” - Maser - Ireland’s Leading Contemporary Artist

What is Up SharkNation!

Today the guys sit down with one of Ireland's best known and best loved artists - Al Maser. 

Maser has made a huge contribution to the Irish graffiti and street art scene in Dublin And elsewhere over the last 20 years. If you are unaware of Maser you have definitely seen his work around Dublin city or seen his work connected with some of Ireland's most important cultural movements over the past decade (Repeal the 8h and the Covid lockdown).

 The guy dig into 

1. How Maser found his tribe in the graffiti scene of the early 2000s

2. Making the art life commercially viable

3. What drives him to create artwork that is so attached to what's happening today in Irish society

4. His relationship with Damian Dempsey and the inspiration for the "Greed is the Knife" piece that was situated on the docklands in Dublin. 

5. What he thinks about the finite nature of his work and how he feels when one of his murals is removed. 

6. His new venture 'FlowState' which is taking his artwork into people's homes and Yoga studios in a useable way.
