Dennis Duolee (Du-oh-Lee)
Over the last few years I have devoted my time to the quantum world. The place where our classical laws of physics conflict with our own common sense and perception of things. Our intuition may struggle but the results of the hypothesis and experiments makes quantum physics the most fundamental part of what science calls existence.
Modern science, philosophy, futurism combined with my life experiences are factors to my thoughts and artwork. Problem solving, both practical and theoretical has been a part of me since childhood and something I love to expose myself to.
Similar to how cavemen interpreted their surroundings with cave paintings - I feel I’m doing the same. Things that intrigues and fascinate me is the foundation of the Natural World but also how I can twist and turn and set my own rules and laws of physics in my artwork.
I'm an active person that explores different fields within art. It ranges from Installations, sculputuring, writing, painting, drawing and event-based happenings, etc. My background as a graffiti artist has given me a close relationship to draw, with pens and pencils, markers, brushes and crayons. As of lately I've worked a lot with dry pastels and explored naïve art, a field that I truly identify with. It's important and valuable to me as it connects my childhood to my daily life as a father. It's like I'm time-travelling in my imagination and when I open my eyes I can see a little replica of me, my son Lee.
In the end, what matters to me is to trust the process and to stay committed to my artistry and craft. My curiosity and curage takes me places and my ambition and obsession for practice is now the foundation for my results.
The great Ingmar Stenmark said it best - "I know nothing about luck, all I know is the more I practice the luckier I get"
