‘ DUBLIN ’S BANKSY’ JOINS LOCAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Dublin based graffiti artist Maser has pledged his support to local election candidate Bryce Evans. Evans is a first time candidate under the People before Profit Alliance and is running in the Pembroke-Rathmines ward. Maser – famed as ‘ Dublin ’s Banksy’- is working on a piece of street art to encourage locals to vote for Evans on June 5th. In a statement Evans said ‘I am a fan of Maser’s artwork; he provides Dublin with a youthful aesthetic and I am delighted to have him on board’. Maser said he was backing Evans because he was ‘an honest and genuine guy’. The artist added that he had never voted before, but was a resident of Rathmines and after reading Evans’ leaflet decided to throw his weight behind the campaign. The artwork will occupy an unspecified, prominent location on Dublin ’s southside and is expected to be completed soon.
