Ben Timpson: June 20 Karin Olah: June 27 Dorothy Netherland: July 11 Jonathan Brilliant: July 18 | | Ishmael was born in Madrid, Spain to Cuban parents and raised in Florida. Influenced by his family of artists and the metro bus routes through South West Miami, he taught himself to paint with spray paint secretly after receiving a tongue lashing by his aunt for his interest in graffiti. In the year 1999 he chose the name Ishmael for his art. His focus was to bring attention to a book called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Quinn questions the human condition and talks about spiritual adventure, tackling the status quo, and reinventing yourself. Ishmael's new work unifies his rebellious history with a journey into fine art. The work combines graphic forms with feminine organic shapes and bold masculine hard lines using fire, spray enamel, latex and ink. He splits his time between Charleston and Asheville, North Carolina. Using a word of mouth, street approach to networking--stickers, live painting collaborations with musicians, shows--Ishmael enjoys an international reputation as a skilled, provocative artist. |  Graffiti: Past, Present, and Future
