SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style. Maser is ambitious and is unafraid to experiment with any artistic format.  \nSince the outset\, Maser has continuously progressed his artistic style and practice\, which is now firmly rooted in the gallery space\, and moreover\, in the realm of contemporary Irish Art.  Having credited his origins in street art for the initial evolution of his personal style\, his artistic practice today comprises of his unique typographic style combined with photorealistic elements\, which usually convey an uplifting and socially conscious message to the viewer. The content of his work is inspirational and offers the viewer an opportunity to become fully immersed in an almost hypnotic state\, through his use of contrasting colours and the use of repetitive patterns.  With the underlying ideals that ‘We are all in this together’ woven throughout his work\, Maser’s art unifies him with the viewer by conveying the love he has for his environment and the people that live in there.    \nBoasting an impressive list of exhibitions at high-end art galleries\, Maser has created original artwork for many prestigious arts organisations including\, Lazarides (UK)\, the National Gallery of Ireland (IRL)\, the National Library of Ireland (IRL)\, Tandem Press (USA) and more. He has collaborated on projects with the Irish band U2\, TED prize winner JR\, globally recognised muralists Fintan Magee and Connor Harrington\, and he has even collaborated with the president of Ireland\, Michael D Higgins on a limited edition print series. \nTo date\, Maser has created work extensively throughout Ireland for a variety of well-received exhibitions and art events\, as well as creating commissioned artworks throughout London\, Paris\, New York\, Chicago\, Florida\, California\, Australia\, Uganda\, Liberia\, Austria\, Germany\, Denmark\, Holland\, Belgium\, Prague\, Slovenia\, Spain and Sweden. In 2018\, Maser established Atelier Maser an art studio and gallery space located in the heart of Dublin that is dedicated to emerging visual artists. The Gallery boasts an exciting programme of artist residencies and exhibitions developed to nurture talent and provide guidance for young artists to showcase their skills.  \n www.maserart.com \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

DESCRIPTION:Image by Stephen Humphreys \nYou are cordially invited to join us at the Contemporary Irish Arts Center Los Angeles – at Bergamot Station\, Santa Monica on August 17th at 7.30pm to join Eimear Noone as she presents a Celebration of Ireland’s Electronic Artists and Video Game industry. \n\n\n\nRSVP – Tickets Below \n\n\n\nJoin us for an intimate evening of music and lively discussion focussed on Ireland’s evolving Video Game Industry\, live music from a string quartet and a video presentation of examples of Ireland’s current and future games!  \nMedia composer and conductor\, Eímear Noone will take us through what’s new and upcoming in the Irish Video Game industry\, whilst sharing her own experience in the global world of video games and interactive art. \nIreland\, has produced more than its fair share of fine storytellers\, poets\, playwrights and musicians.  The birthplace of James Joyce\, Oscar Wilde and Bernard Shaw\, to name just a few\, the island is legend for producing raconteurs.  And what are video games if not stories\, told in three dimensions? It’s only natural that Ireland’s creative artists\, including Eimear\, would be attracted to this new method for telling stories.   \nNamed “The Irish Queen of Games Music” by The Irish Independent\, Eímear Noone is arguably the world’s premier conductor of video game scores both in the studio and in the concert hall. On August 17th\, 2019\, come join Eimear as she hosts an evening of video game music and lively discussion of both her own video game music career as well as the current state of the Irish video game industry. \nImmediately following her discussion\, these game scores will be performed in string quartet: \n\nBaba Yetu – from Civilization IV\, by Christopher Tin\nMalach\, Angel Messenger – from World of WarCraft\, Warlords of Draenor\, by Eimear Noone\nThe Legend of Zelda Medley – from the Zelda Franchise\, by Koji Kondo\nAC/DC’s Back in Black (Eimear’s personal theme song) which also appeared in Call of Duty Black Ops II\, by Angus and Malcolm Young and Brian Johnson\, as imagined by Craig Stuart Garfinkle.\n\nIreland is an artistic and technological biosphere that is uniquely suited to this limitless engine for creativity.  From creative programmers to animators to writers\, composers and actors\, multi-media cross disciplinary collaboration means that each individual practitioner has to look beyond the traditional confines of their own art to make a meaningful contribution to the whole. Join us in Gallery 2 for a video presentation of what’s happening in the exciting Irish Video Game Industry. \nAbout Eímear Noone \nEímear Noone is a California based award-winning Irish composer and conductor. She has composed extensively for film and videogame. She is responsible for some of the most enduring soundscapes on World of Warcraft and other best-selling videogames. She has conducted orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic\, Pittsburg Symphony and The Philadelphia orchestras and has worked on scores for directors such as Gus Van Sant and Joe Dante\, orchestrating for Oscar nominee Javier Navarrette (composer of Pan’s Labyrinth) creating haunting music for thrillers Mirrors and The Hole. Eímear founded a major European game music festival in Ireland and is an advocate for and mentor to creative women in tech and music. Eímear also consults on Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle as coach to female lead\, Lola Kirke. \nwww.harrisonparrott.com/polyarts/artists/eimear-noone \n\n\n\n\n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style. Maser is ambitious and is unafraid to experiment with any artistic format.  \nSince the outset\, Maser has continuously progressed his artistic style and practice\, which is now firmly rooted in the gallery space\, and moreover\, in the realm of contemporary Irish Art.  Having credited his origins in street art for the initial evolution of his personal style\, his artistic practice today comprises of his unique typographic style combined with photorealistic elements\, which usually convey an uplifting and socially conscious message to the viewer. The content of his work is inspirational and offers the viewer an opportunity to become fully immersed in an almost hypnotic state\, through his use of contrasting colours and the use of repetitive patterns.  With the underlying ideals that ‘We are all in this together’ woven throughout his work\, Maser’s art unifies him with the viewer by conveying the love he has for his environment and the people that live in there.    \nBoasting an impressive list of exhibitions at high-end art galleries\, Maser has created original artwork for many prestigious arts organisations including\, Lazarides (UK)\, the National Gallery of Ireland (IRL)\, the National Library of Ireland (IRL)\, Tandem Press (USA) and more. He has collaborated on projects with the Irish band U2\, TED prize winner JR\, globally recognised muralists Fintan Magee and Connor Harrington\, and he has even collaborated with the president of Ireland\, Michael D Higgins on a limited edition print series. \nTo date\, Maser has created work extensively throughout Ireland for a variety of well-received exhibitions and art events\, as well as creating commissioned artworks throughout London\, Paris\, New York\, Chicago\, Florida\, California\, Australia\, Uganda\, Liberia\, Austria\, Germany\, Denmark\, Holland\, Belgium\, Prague\, Slovenia\, Spain and Sweden. In 2018\, Maser established Atelier Maser an art studio and gallery space located in the heart of Dublin that is dedicated to emerging visual artists. The Gallery boasts an exciting programme of artist residencies and exhibitions developed to nurture talent and provide guidance for young artists to showcase their skills.  \n www.maserart.com \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style.

SUMMARY:MASER Exhibition - Mirror Door
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Runs to 24th August \nGallery Open Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm \nCurated by Matthew Nevin. \n“MASER is one of Ireland’s leading Contemporary Artists and we are delighted to showcase a new site specific installation of his work\, that has been instrumental in promoting positive change and inclusivity over the past few years. While always pushing modern boundaries\, he captures brilliantly the new creative age that Ireland is experiencing right now.”  ~ Matthew Nevin\, Executive Director at CIACLA and MART Gallery & Studios. \nFor this large scale exhibition at CIACLA\, Irish muralist and visual artist MASER transforms the main exhibition space into a fully immersive hand-crafted installation. Taking inspiration from one of the great natural beauties of Ireland – Glendalough Valley in County Wicklow – the installation reinvents the valley’s expansive landscape for visitors to the gallery.  \nOn a daily basis in Ireland\, hundreds of locals and tourists travel to Glendalough to marvel at its rugged landscape and to trek its journey. It is a place of rural beauty and a place that deeply resonates with the artist. Through Maser’s signature use of vibrant colours\, flowing patterns and playful shapes\, the installation at CIACLA pays homage to the valley’s breathtaking views\, and plays on the idea of differing perspectives and organised view-points. The artist has created a site specific\, immersive installation that is bursting with colour and encourages visitors to become fully captivated by the valley’s abstracted landscape. \nHaving lived in Arkansas for many years\, Maser has a close relationship with the United States – while also holding his Irish roots close to his heart. He travelled extensively around the globe\, yet the Irish landscape is a place that distinctly evokes a sense of home for the artist and is strongly rooted in his identity. With the installation at CIACLA\, Maser strives to create an inclusive and authentic experience for visitors to engage with his representation of contemporary Ireland.  \nAbout the Artist \nMaser truly embodies the centric spirit of contemporary visual art in Ireland today. Having created artwork since 1995\, over the last 24 years\, Maser has earned much respect professionally and has generated a large and dedicated following in Ireland and abroad – through his seamlessly imaginative and unique graphic style. Maser is ambitious and is unafraid to experiment with any artistic format.  \nSince the outset\, Maser has continuously progressed his artistic style and practice\, which is now firmly rooted in the gallery space\, and moreover\, in the realm of contemporary Irish Art.  Having credited his origins in street art for the initial evolution of his personal style\, his artistic practice today comprises of his unique typographic style combined with photorealistic elements\, which usually convey an uplifting and socially conscious message to the viewer. The content of his work is inspirational and offers the viewer an opportunity to become fully immersed in an almost hypnotic state\, through his use of contrasting colours and the use of repetitive patterns.  With the underlying ideals that ‘We are all in this together’ woven throughout his work\, Maser’s art unifies him with the viewer by conveying the love he has for his environment and the people that live in there.    \nBoasting an impressive list of exhibitions at high-end art galleries\, Maser has created original artwork for many prestigious arts organisations including\, Lazarides (UK)\, the National Gallery of Ireland (IRL)\, the National Library of Ireland (IRL)\, Tandem Press (USA) and more. He has collaborated on projects with the Irish band U2\, TED prize winner JR\, globally recognised muralists Fintan Magee and Connor Harrington\, and he has even collaborated with the president of Ireland\, Michael D Higgins on a limited edition print series. \nTo date\, Maser has created work extensively throughout Ireland for a variety of well-received exhibitions and art events\, as well as creating commissioned artworks throughout London\, Paris\, New York\, Chicago\, Florida\, California\, Australia\, Uganda\, Liberia\, Austria\, Germany\, Denmark\, Holland\, Belgium\, Prague\, Slovenia\, Spain and Sweden. In 2018\, Maser established Atelier Maser an art studio and gallery space located in the heart of Dublin that is dedicated to emerging visual artists. The Gallery boasts an exciting programme of artist residencies and exhibitions developed to nurture talent and provide guidance for young artists to showcase their skills.  \n www.maserart.com \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.
