Hollywood Glam Meets American Graffiti
New York, Brooklyn based artist, DAIN is considered to be one of the more influential artists to emerge out of the current New York street art movement. DAIN faithfully produces works that are both evocative and beautiful in their composition.
His love for old Hollywood glam is evident in much of his work. His trademark “circle and drip” around the eye still remains a mystery. This, along with his roots in graffiti, create a gritty yet delicate art style that is all his own. DAIN’s art has been featured in shows in New York, Miami, Chicago, Portland, London and Paris.
DAIN combines glamourous black and white head shots of Hollywood actresses both old and new from Elizabeth Taylor to Angelina Jolie with collage from newspapers, advertisements and fashion magazines and vibrant spray paint, most noticeably and iconically around the eye of the Hollywood stars. Throughout his artistic practice, DAIN manages to deftly straddle the fine art and the street art world, maintaining the grittiness and rawness of the streets.
