Joos 'DOES' VAN BARNEVELD

Joos van Barneveld, better known as multidisciplinary artist DOES, has been perfecting his style since he first discovered graffiti at the age of fifteen.

Dedication, focus and self-restraint are ingrained in him after living the life of a professional soccer player until the age of 28.

For more than a decade he was forced to combine the daily needs 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 soccer player. Since then, DOES has devoted himself exclusively to art.

First 20 YEARS

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, his art is featured in collections across the globe.

TRANSITION

“During my soccer career everything was very structured, and I wanted to be myself more. I was looking for a kind of liberation, a certain relief from all the routine and discipline. For me, DOES is like a fairy tale, a second person in my life.”

STYLE

DOES’ style is today highly recognizable and has become a mix of influences from old-school writers and his own research. In his drawings and paintings you can discover the roots of 3D lettering

LEAVING SOMETHING BEHIND

The transience of street art has triggered a desire in DOES: the desire to make his life work tangible as a confirmation of his existence. Driven by the rhythm of sketching and the everlasting quest for colors, shapes and materials DOES will pursue to create. He is today moving the boundaries of his own artistic research in new conceptual directions.
