From The Artist:
“On top of all the noise, and in front of the archaic backdrops of our lives, there sits something very peaceful and angelic. When I paint I feel like I can find that something, and speak from it. There are a lot of things in life that we feel are unchangeable. Rules become suffocating, and there are always forces that we wish we could stand up against. I paint to remind myself that I capable of escaping the oppressive. And I think we all need that drive.
I learned at a very young age that there is an exception to every rule, and they can always be broken. When I paint, I hope to remind that YOU ARE that exception. Make your own rules, live on your own terms, and stand up when you have something to say.” – Dakota Dean
Bio:
Using only spray paint (and maybe a few satirical news articles), Dakota Dean’s bold and provocatively vibrant works share a counter-cultural message of independence, and freedom of thought. Dakota Dean was born and raised in a small town outside of Provo, Utah. In 2012 he moved to Seattle, WA in search of a broader horizon. Shortly after arriving, he picked up his first spray can.
