Bond Street ResidenceArtist
: David Ellis & Doze Green
Downtown
building in the heart of NOHO defined by artist and creatives, now struggles to
hold on to identity of its rich and diversity community. With street life rapidly changing and
with the culture of artist vanishing the inspiration began here to reinvent a
place to capture and a maintain a slice of that world which once was. A
friend introduced Ellis and Green to me as there were finishing up an
installation for BMG
records with their art collective “The Barnstormers.” Once visiting I knew
immediately that with Green’s explosive expression of character with powers
storylines and Ellis’s incredible gift of line work that had a soulful
connection with motion and sound that these two and there eagerness to
collaborate made for an incredible duo.
Both originated from the graffiti writing
scene to now receiving much respect in the contemporary art community. Lift
strives on making connections with artist and enabling them to create from a
place of absolute artistic freedom.
The streets of NOHO once offered that.
