Artist Research - Doze Green

Doze Green

Doze green is a artist whose style stems from his experience as a graffiti artist and display his interest in topical issues such as homelessness but also encompass more spiritual aspects as well. 

The thing I like the most about Doze Green's work is his combination of clean lines and also the rough brush strokes, formed from his experience with a spray can. His artwork combines an array of characters all merged into one and many of the figures appear supernatural and primitive in design giving some of the art pieces themes which remind me of totem poles or old drawings of myths and legends fused with the modern medium and style of street art. 

An aspect of his style of art I would like to take inspiration from is his clean linework as I personally struggle with drawing with smooth lines. Despite a lot going on in each scene, several characters and figures are still visible and I believe this would help with my scene composition among many other things.

Also since I rarely end up colouring my work, my experience using shading and colour is extremely basic and I would consider it one of the weakest aspects of my artwork. Doze Green uses artwork to accentuate key aspects of his artwork and to add another dimension to each piece.
