Doze Green Artist Spotlight
- Jan 28, 2010

“Doze Green is the 80’s Rock Steady Crew dancer and graf writer that took his art to other dimensions, other worlds, other realities and back again. His show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery that opened last Saturday has completely sold out, according to our sources. With the prices of work ranging from four to five figures, this is big. Doze’s artwork graced the cover of several music projects in the 90’s including the Deep Concentration (scratch/turntablist DJ) series on OM Records, and at Bay Area Future Primitive events well, but he differs from a lot of oldschool graf cats in his current complete and utter commitment to his fine art. You don’t see a ton of his work in designs for big companies, or even small ones for that matter. His art is produced (for the most part) for him, and him alone, and he has been VERY successful in getting this commitment to pay off.
Doze’s characters evoke a range of emotions and convey many messages, and really teach and enrich while serving to please simultaneously. In the above video, Friends We Love gives us a preview of their upcoming Doze Studio feature.”- Frank Green (From our Friends at Frank 151)
I’ve never really been one for live painting, but Doze seems to pull if off well. Check out this segment of “Scratch”, which documents Doze painting at Future Primitive Live in San Francisco.- Case
