Muralist Info: Maser is an artist originally from Ireland, now living in the USA. As early as 1995 under the moniker 'Maser', he began painting graffiti on the streets of Dublin, where he soon earned the respect of other graffiti artists in Ireland and throughout Europe for his unique abstracted style. After studying Visual Communication at Art School in his home city, he went on to establish himself as one of Ireland's leading visual artist working in the urban environment.

Project Mission: To bring all the cross sections of the Low Brow world is pleased to announce District Walls. With over 146 murals implemented in the last 9 years and with ongoing success of the Richmond Mural project, Art Whino will be using the power of the mural once again with its focus this time on the Nations Capitol. Washington DC has gone through an amazing renaissance in the last 5 years and this project mission is to add another dimension to the city with this year them of bringing World Renowned abstract muralists. These abstract styles have roots in fine art, graffiti, street art, and abstract geometry meshes them together into some of the most striking murals in the forefront of the mural world. Art Whino will be curating 10 world renowned abstract muralists who will be painting murals through Washington, DC.
