If there's an LSD revival going on, then The Outsiders will be there. In which case, our print release this week is a psychedelic odyssey by NYC graffiti mainstay, Doze Green.
Luminous B features a sagacious dreamlike figure amongst spaced-out architectural forms in vivid primary colours. The enveloping deep hues in the background give a sense of timelessness and antiquity, a common theme of Doze's spaced-out work. He's noted for his work alongside other mind-expanding artists such as San Francisco's Mario Martinez aka MARS-1.
It should be noted that Doze Green is not just interested in supercharging your synapses. A heavy influence is the art and materials of Edo period Japan. Moreover, the more "long in the tooth" amongst you may remember the Rocksteady Crew, a breakdancing outfit from the early 1980s who crossed over to mainstream consciousness. Doze Green was a member of said troupe and has even been known to throw down at his exhibition launches.
