In the 1970s, Doze Green emerged as a pioneering figure in Hip-Hop culture. A member of the legendary Rock Steady Crew—the collective that helped define breakdancing, or B-Boying—he was also a subway-tagging graffiti artist who frequently performed in breakdance exhibitions at galleries in SoHo and the Lower East Side. Transitioning from walls to canvas, Green’s recent paintings draw on the aesthetics of Japan’s Edo Period and are executed in gesso and sumi ink. These works retain his signature figurative abstraction and dynamic use of letterforms while probing metaphysical questions about narrative, the physics of time, and the possibility of immortality. Green describes them as “biological entities—a swarm of arrows coming in from infinite perspective.”
