Artist DOT DOT DOT

DOT DOT DOT (b. Oslo, Norway), is a visual, public and conceptual artist who was an active part of the emerging graffiti scene in the late 90’s. He operated under several aliases, but when he successfully shifted to a more conceptual and figurative style he settled on the name DOT DOT DOT. From mid 2000 his main focus has been with the stencil technique, but in the last few years he has also brought his oil paintings back and has been regarded as one of Norway's most leading and upcoming artist.

DOT DOT DOT's artwork is on display in several galleries and is amongst collectors worldwide. His paintings have a 1970's pop art reference through modern aesthetics. He also has a rather satirical look at contemporary art and its own self-imposed grandeur, not to mention the players within it which changed the segment into a multinational commercial space. His execution of imagery brings often out debate and have a provocative touch to question the politics and the world as it is today. With a playful cultural subject vision in his paintings, he reaches out for the nostalgia and retrospective.

He does his paintings figurative and hyper realistic into a very pure sight to gain the object(s) full attention to the viewer, which he is known for worldwide.
