The Narcissist

Doze Green is a pioneering American artist whose work bridges the realms of graffiti, hip-hop, and fine art. He became an original member of the Rock Steady Crew, a group instrumental in the development of breakdancing. Simultaneously, Green honed his graffiti skills on the city’s subway cars, adopting the tag DOZE TC5 and learning from influential artists like RAMMELLZEE and DONDI White . Green’s artistic evolution led him from the streets to the studio, where he developed a distinctive style that melds elements of Cubism, Edo-period Japanese art, and calligraphy with his graffiti roots. Utilizing mediums such as black gesso and sumi ink, his works often feature dynamic, abstract figures he describes as “biological entities, a swarm of arrows coming in from infinite perspective” . These forms reflect his exploration of metaphysical themes, including the nature of narrative, the physics of time, and the possibility of immortality.
