An experience spent with Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and, above all, with Rammellzee. The process gradually reveals itself to the eye, during the equally explanatory observation of the previous work of Doze Green who grew up in the midst of the Hip Hop cultural revolution in 1980s Manhattan, from which the chromatic reminiscence emerges as if he were traveling on the New York City Transit System. Figures that have evolved and freed themselves in space in constant metamorphosis. Doze unfolds an intense world filled with polymorphic/therianthropic beings connected in a dynamic dance charged with vital and creative energy.Ībstract typographical bodies in which the Letter, universal register of language and information, detached from its function as an interpretative tool, becomes a fetish of knowledge, of culture, and therefore of truth. The question is emphasized by the 10 canvases and 14 drawings, from which figures with mystical, numerological and hermetic contaminations appear. So where is the mimesis? And what happens at the very moment in which it takes place in the traction between space and time? “What is reality?” Chimeras or dystopias.
By asking questions, first of himself and subsequently, of his medium of expression, painting and drawing: "We create worlds, yet who created us?". Space, time, living and artistic surface. Starting from the analysis of the relationship and the principles of correspondence between macrocosm and microcosm, his latest work explores shapes and colors of the realm of the infinitely small which reflect, like mimesis, a harmonic order capable of holding up its various parts in the universe. Or MIMESIS, the solo exhibition by the american artist Doze Green (New York, 1964) that Galleria Patricia Armocida, via Argelati 24, is pleased to host from march 21st to june 30th 2023.Īn exhibition of never-before-seen works, whose common thread to the past is given by the reflective approach that Green places on contemporary society, first investigating himself and therefore what surrounds him: the infinite.
