His work is is that of a critic and endorser of the the things we desire most. Vibrant, colorful and sleekly produced art satirizes contemporary consumerism using its own visual language and almost makes a pun at the things popular culture feels they cannot live without. Whether its designer labels, prescription drugs or unhealthy food the artist mocks them by creating detailed and beautifully crafted objects with a subversive edge.
DOC’s new exhibition ‘"We Are Known By The Company We Keep" is dedicated to a subsection of today’s consumer culture: the art world, its critics, historians, gallerists, and collectors. A fine art graduate from the esteemed Parson’s School of Design, he enjoys his rebel status while maintaining a high profile within the art scene. In a typically self deprecating manner he said “I’m not a painter, sculptor, printmaker or craftsman, and I often refer to myself as a con artist.”
His work has been decking the halls of venues, hotels and private collections in Miami, LA and world wide. Learn more about Desire Obtain Cherish here: http://www.desireobtaincherish.com
