Ahol Sniffs Glue is a pseudonym of David Anasagasti, (his other pseudonym is Alouishous San Gomma) a South Florida, Miami-based artist. Anasagasti is known for his spray painting street murals depicting drowsy eyes. Anasagasti is known as Ahol Sniffs Glue, a street artist with a two decades-long career who became a local legend by turning trash into art worth picking up. Though Anasagasti also creates traditional paintings on canvas, he’s best known for Geographies of Trash, an art project that encourages people to hunt down the litter he paints on. And it’s all free. Since he started the project with Florida International University’s Ratcliffe Art + Design Incubator in 2021, Anasagasti has developed an online community dedicated to finding his scattered works like a county-wide scavenger hunt. Once someone finds one of the artworks, Anasagasti mints the image of the work as an NFT for the collector who found it.
Anasagasti's work can be found on: Instagram, Discord, Twitter, Threads,
Art gallery walls, Museum Of Graffiti, Miami Art Society, Wynwood Art Gallery
Ahol Sniffs Glue has been creating his spray painted drowsy characters and wall-size eyes since his teenage years. After high school, Ahol played in a punk band called the Panty Raiders, but his passion for drawing replaced his desire to play bass. He drew tiny glue-sniffing monsters and particularly loved crafting their eyes, sometimes covering entire walls with them. Today, he is among the most prominent of the local street artist because of his seemingly omnipresent lazy and sleepy eyes on the walls of public buildings throughout Miami and especially Wynwood. The artist maintains that his eyes tell the story of the city’s hardest-working people.His most famous series Biscayne World explores all the variety and wildness that flows up and down Biscayne Boulevard, including its inhabitants, nightlife, drug scene, glamor, grittiness, and latin culture. In late 2014, Ahol Sniffs Glue, along with Borscht's Michael Arcos and Marnie Ellen directed Biscayne World, a short animated documentary in which Glue’s notorious graffiti eyeballs tell the story of the crazy interactions on busy Biscayne Boulevard. The movie was shown at the Miami International Film Festival, as well as in such places as New Orleans, Colorado, and Glasgow, while Vimeo recognized it as one of "the world's best videos”. His work is represented by Greg Sheinbaum Gallery and some other great local galleries where his work hangs alongside Daniel Arsham, Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Shepard Fairey, KAWS, John CRASH Matos, Andy Warhol, and Mr Brainwash. In his recent work, the Cuban-American artist has developed more complex work that evokes strong emotional reactions. As his art became more abstract expressionistic, Ahol Sniffs Glue has begun experimenting with new techniques including painting, sculpture, pastels, and charcoals that provide different textures and line widths. Inspired by the themes from mass media, popular culture, and marginalized groups within society, he creates art that highlights systems of society which contribute to the dehumanization of its inhabitants. Although he has developed the more intimate approach to art, the eyes of his characters are still the central focus of his work and Glue’s trademark.

Carlos Betancourt, American (Born 1966)
Abstract Sculpture
Spray Paint and hand Painted Sculptural Wall Applique.
Hand signed.
Dimensions: 23 X 23 inches approximately
Three dimensional neo primitive wall relief I believe this is from The Sounds Symbols Project (2000), a monumental ephemeral installation in the sand in Miami Beach.
Carlos Betancourt (born San Juan, Puerto Rico 1966) is an American multi-disciplinary artist. His artworks explore issues of memory, and his own experiences, while also dwelling in issues of nature, the environment and matters of beauty, identity and communication. He has worked as a curator, furniture designer and has collaborated in with Louis Vuitton as well as on architectural and site-specific private and public commissions with architect Alberto Latorre.
Betancourt artwork is in part inspired by his relationship with nature as well as by the diverse cultures and history of the Caribbean basin, Florida and the Americas. Also by artist Ana Mendieta interventions, Robert Rauschenberg assemblages, Andy Warhol perceptions, Neo Rauch compositions, and a Federico Fellini-esque cast of characters for his photo assemblages. Additionally, he relates to some of theorist Jean Baudrillard views about art and his philosophy on objects; French artist Gustave Courbet's idea that "the only possible source for living art is the artist's own experiences", as well as the Martinican writer and theoretician, Edouard Glissant's belief that ..."the past resides in material objects that only release their hidden meanings when encountered imaginatively and sensuously. Betancourt admires the works of diverse artists such as Fernando Oller, Cisco Jimenez, Bill Viola...
