Famed B-Boy Doze Green Talks about Breakdancing at 2024 Olympic Games
Feb 21, 2024

Doze Green is an American contemporary artist and one of the influential figures in the world of street art and graffiti. Born in 1964, Doze Green initially gained prominence as a graffiti artist in the hip-hop scene during the 1980s in New York City. He was a part of the Rock Steady Crew, a legendary break dancing crew that played a significant role in the early hip-hop movement.


Doze Green's artistic style has evolved over the years, blending elements of graffiti, abstract art, and traditional fine arts. His work often features dynamic, fluid lines, vibrant colors, and a fusion of urban and spiritual themes. He is known for his distinctive approach to visual storytelling, incorporating elements of mythology, spirituality, and cultural symbolism.


In addition to his work in the street art and graffiti scene, Doze Green has exhibited his artwork in galleries and museums worldwide. His pieces are sought after by collectors, and he continues to be recognized for his contributions to the contemporary art scene.


In January 2024, Doze painted a sprawling mural outside the Art of Hip Hop in Wynwood to recognize the original Breakdancers from the early days of the movement. The mural was unveiled with a celebration at Art of Hip Hop that featured a panel discussion with Doze and other generations of B-Boys such as Louiediology and Chillski. The main topic of the discussion was how far breakdancing has come from being a children's pass time in developing neighborhoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn to being part of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This is the first year break dancing will be in the Olympics and a lot of people have a lot to say about this. You can find the entire talk on our Youtube channel and check out the commemorative T-Shirt and Poster that were created to honor the wall.  Also, watch this video here for a full explanation of who are all the faces in the mural.
