My friend and artist Russell Maurice aka Gasius aka Gasix informed me he’s having a small artshow about
weird abstract mushrooms experiences…check the flyer above and be sure to stop there if you are around!!
Russell is the man behind the brand Gasius….and the man Behing Russell Maurice. I met him few years ago when Sixpack was just startin …. and we quickly became friends.
This guy came from the English graffiti scene, painting walls under the name of “Gasface“.
Back in 1993, he used to do some cool hand-painted tee shirts and worked as designer for English label Maharishi for years, developping camo and graphics for them.
For years Russell has developped a real strong personal artistic language. I guess this is what makes him so complete.
Through his works, Gas creates a very green onirical hermetic universe.
These creations are not based on the superficial and flashy visual attraction which is so omnipresent in Street Art….
I mean his aim is deeper. His artworks are detailed, sensed and clever, with a real contemporary art approach. He knew better than anyone how to create such a world!

Russell is a good example of what we consider as an artist at Sixpack HQ.
Big up Russel…Everyday dude..Everyday!! E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y.S!
