The leisure club MOGADISHNI is pleased to present The Farm by ASH.
ASH was born in 1968 in Portugal and lived in Paris most of his youth.
Influenced by the subway graffiti from New York, he started writing on the
walls of Paris as well as on trains coming in and out of Paris. In 1983 he
made his first painting with spray on the boarding of the Beaubourg Museum.
Considered a pioneer in the European graffiti, he was contacted by
galleries. This confronted him with another world where language, attitude
and experiences were very different. To work with galleries forced him to
verbalise his works, which might have brought more maturity into his work.
Since 1988 ASH has been exhibiting regularly in various galleries and spaces
worldwide.
The works in The Farm will be based on street-graffiti esthetical elements
but distinguishes itself from street-graffiti in many ways. The exhibition
in the gallery will consist of wall pieces + works on canvas.
