:''For the breakfast food see Rashers. For the UK comic strip, see Rasher.'' Rasher (born 1977) (real name Mark Kavanagh) is an Irish figurative artist, best known for his detailed and colourful work on the human figure, and still lifes. ==Early life== Rasher was born in the seaside town of Bray, County Wicklow. As a boy he attended St Killian's School and later St Thomas VEC. The nickname Rasher has stuck with him since he was a child.〔()〕 Apart from a yearlong plc course at his local college in Bray, Rasher is a self-taught artist who has achieved commerciality. When he first thought of painting, Rasher says his father thought he was crazy and that he would never make a living out of it. "I mopped floors in supermarkets so I could paint during the day." Eventually his parents allowed him use his bedroom as a studio. When he first got accepted into a gallery, he sold his paintings to it for £50 and was just left with enough money to buy more paint. At this stage, he was producing a painting at a rate of one every two weeks. After several self-mounted shows which attracted the interest of admirers far and wide, he held a one-man exhibition in Dublin. He was profiled in several respected newspapers and made an appearance on The Late Late Show which brought him to national attention. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rasher (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
