Acquired directly from the artist
Native New Yorker Doze Green is an original member of the infamous Rock Steady Crew, he is a pioneer of Hip Hop Culture, he is a Graff Legend- the King of Character's. He is a fusionist - a symbolist - a figurative painter - his work defies definition.
As art critic Anjee Helstrup said "His work is raw yet refined, emotive, highly symbolic and has a complexity that looks not only to the past and present state of the world, but also alludes to a future that is guided through a convergence that is not limited by conventional religious forms."
Over the years, Doze Green's paintings have progressed from the streets and into galleries. His artistic career began on the walls and eventually the trains of NYC in 1974. By the mid 1980's he was exhibiting his work in art spaces such as the OK Harris Gallery, Tony Shafrazi Gallery and the Fun Gallery.
Doze Green's work is in many public and private collections throughout the United States, Japan, Europe and Australia.
