Stash Gallery presents: P(ART)Y by: Aholsniffsglue Opening Reception - May 9, 2009
It's my pleasure to be able to post up the announcement of AHOLSNIFFSGLUE...'s first solo show this Saturday, May 9, at Stash Gallery.
He sent me a bit of information on the show via email:
For nearly a decade, Aholsniffsglue has been showing us the world through his eyes. The eyes that have become a staple and a signature in most of his artwork; bloodshot and droopy, those eyes tell the story of one of Miami's hardest working individuals.
This Hialeah-born craftsman has inhaled the essence of Miami's underground through his street art, fine art, and, of course, the art of party rocking. As one of the founding members of the Que Pasa M.I.A. crew, including fellow party-rockers Jose El Rey, Slim Biscayne, Ahol has taken Miami's night life by storm, throwing some of the most-memorable parties that Miami's underground has seen.
His art displays an obvious obsession with patterns, repetition, and his longtime love of blue ballpoint pens. His style is unique and instantly recognizable as is his ability to cross over into many different mediums.
His work has garnered many accolades and he was recently crowned the winner of the Colt 45 Ink The Can Contest in 2008. His drive to create is fueled by his immersion in the strife of life's harsh realities countered by his constant pursuit of all that is fun.
Come join us at Stash Gallery May 9th, and be part of the P(ART)Y a retrospective of Aholsniffsglue's existence and his creations spanning the last decade. P(ART)Y, as interpreted by Ahol, is, The art in any party; a place where fun is omnipresent and only good times are always allowed. In the essence of Aholsniffglue's eclectic style, grilled cheese sandwiches and beverages will be served along with special guest DJ, Miami's own Jose el Rey. You have no choice get ready to P(ART)Y.
I'll never forget the time that I visited some friends in Tallahassee and scrawled across the back wall of the Irish Pub on Tennessee Street I see "AHOLSNIFFSGLUE..." I've heard stories that Ahol's stickers (right) appearing around the world, even last night someone told me they saw a sticker in Spain a year ago.
Congratulations to Ahol. Keep working it bro.
