About this Artist

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. Created out of an obsession for designer/art toys and collectables, Hong Kong based company Toy2r continues to break down the boundaries between product design, art and graphics. Mastermind Raymond Choy founded the company in 1995 where he took his dream of a once owned toy store known as ‘Toy R’ (short for Toy Raymond), which held countless quantitiesof limited edition toy collectables, and turned it into a internationally recognized company amongst the first to explore the potential of the designer/art toy movement. Ultimately, instilling contemporary art into the vinyl toy market we all know and love today. Toy2r is a multi-faceted company whose logo was taken from our most loved and cherished mascot, the ‘Toyer.’ In 2001 Raymond released the skull-headed figure alongside what was to become the most ubiquitous toy canvas in the world, the Qee keychain figure (Please see About Qee for further information). We take great pride in our determination at Toy2r to not only innovate but inspire artists’, designers’ and the world’s generation of youth alike. Our main objective is to provide limited/collectable designer/art toys at an affordable price, based on the coolest designs for the current international market. Toy2r has received numerous internationally renowned awards for our outstanding achievements;
