ABOUT
Joos van Barneveld, better known as multidisciplinary artist DOES, has been perfecting his style since he first discovered graffiti at the age of fifteen.
THE STORY
Dedication, focus and self-restraint are ingrained in him after living the life of a professional football player until the age of 28.
For more than a decade he combined the daily discipline of a professional athlete with the night-time secrets of a graffiti writer until a knee injury forced him to give up his career as a professional football player. Since then, DOES has devoted himself exclusively to art.
EXHIBITIONS WORLDWIDE
Over the years DOES´ art diversified into illustrative drawings, prints and canvases, sculptures and more recently collages. DOES travels all over the world to participate in numerous international projects and his work is regularly exhibited at galleries across the globe. Presenting his art to the viewer's eye is an exhilarating end to DOES' creative process.
THE WORK
“I see it as my goal in life to connect through art, move people with elusive but positive images and spread color in many lives. I want to trigger the imagination; not show you what is actually there, but challenge you to see what lies beyond.”
MADE BY DOES
DOES is always looking for new methods and media to express his art. He likes to switch styles and find balance by exploring different art forms and using various media.
Paintings
The attention to detail that characterizes DOES's work comes to life on canvas. It takes several weeks for DOES to finish a detailed painting.
COLLAGES
Graffiti styled paper artworks based on many pieces of hand-cut paper carefully and very precisely glued on top of and next to each other.
SCULPTURES
DOES searched for ways to combine elements of his outside work with his highly detailed studio paintings. The outcome is sculpture collection ‘BRIQUE’.
NFTs
DOES uses the blockchain as a new platform on which his artworks are eternalised to live on forever as digital art in a virtual world.
BRIQUE TAGS
Inspired by the many requests DOES receives for tags in blackbooks or on clothing often during projects abroad.
DRAWINGS
Every artwork starts with a sketch, created with pencil and marker on paper. Based on this drawing a new piece of art arises and reaches its final form.
MURALS
DOES travels the world to create large murals and spread color.
PIECES
Besides venturing out into various art forms and new techniques, DOES loves reconnecting to his roots by spending time on pieces.
