Doze Green

Doze Green (b.1964) is a renowned graffiti artist, social commentator, and original member of the legendary hip-hop breakdancing Rocksteady Crew. In the 1970s, Green honed his artistic street style on the subway walls and streetcars of New York City. He has appeared in films such as Flashdance, Style Wars, and Wildstyle. From B-boy to graffiti legend, Doze Green has gone from tagging the hallways of South Bronx projects to the global stage. Over the years Green's paintings have maintained the spirit of graffiti, they tell stories of the lost, the heroes, and the oppressed, which continue to be largely untold. In the process, he's become a proponent of the avant-garde "fusionistic" art movement. Best known for his characters, Green concentrates on canvases that blend wild style techniques with metaphysical concepts.
