Atelier Maser Grand Opening – Ireland’s First Street Art Gallery
Irish artist Maser throws open the doors to his new gallery space Atelier Maser on Dublin’s Charlemont Street on the December 7 with an exhibition of work by upcoming artist Peter Doyle.
Atelier Maser is a dedicated gallery space for artists transitioning or adding an extra dimension to their work format from the street whilst also providing a platform for art lovers to be able to own some of the work of the artists whose work they encounter and love on their commute and daily journeys around the city.
The ethos of the gallery is simple; space where Irish artists who share Maser’s background in graffiti can display the evolution of their craft, from street art to fine art. Atelier Maser intends to play host to 4 artists a year in an endeavour to expose the Irish art scene to the wealth of talent that has transitioned from the street to the studio.
Atelier Maser opens to the public with its debut show ‘A Stag’s Head’ on the December 7 until December 22 2018, hosting Donaghmede born painter Peter Doyle. Self-taught and trained, the young artist formerly represented by The Unit London, now lives and works in London borough of Hackney.
Open to the public Dec 7 at 6pm-9pm and every Thurs – Sat thereafter. See facebook for more.
