WALRUS TV ARTIST FEATURE: DOZE GREEN INTERVIEW


WALRUS TV ARTIST FEATURE: DOZE GREEN INTERVIEW
Complete details @ upperplayground.com

Info posted by Upper Playground:

Doze Green merges influences from his East Coast graffiti and b-boy background with a painting style he refined on the West Coast. The resulting artwork is complex and intensely symbolic, serving as a means of both social commentary and self-awareness. His interest in the duality of the human condition is reflected throughout his pieces. Doze Green's work has been displayed in cities across Europe, Japan, Australia, and the United States. Watch the interview, on Walrus TV.

"Going in and out, it's pulling stuff from inside. It's based on magic; it's about shadow; it's about darkness; it's about light; it's about understanding; it's about destruction. It's about build-destroy." -Doze Green
