24" x 16" print of a painting by Doze Green. (Price of poster includes mailing tube.)
Doze is one of the pioneers of hip hop culture. He first started writing graffiti in his neighborhood in 1974, and started painting subway trains in 1976. The following year he joined the Rock Steady Crew. The crew first started dancing at art exhibitions and galleries of Soho and the Lower East Side of Manhattan. After appearances in major movies such as Flashdance, Style Wars, and Wildstyle, the Rock Steady Crew was launched into the limelight. During this time Doze was also attending the High School of Art and Design, where some of the most talented and well respected graffiti artists came from. From B-boy to graf legend, Doze has gone from tagging the hallways of South Bronx projects to being featured in art exhibitions all over the world. Doze is well known for his characters, and over the past decade has also concentrated on canvases that blend wildstyle techniques with metaphysical concepts. | |
