Dee Dee has been plastering small wheat paste posters on the walls of New York. His beastly, monochromatic human figures are spray-painted onto a piece of white paper. The artist is hard to locate on the internet. He is a true street artist who expresses himself exclusively on the streets. Without superfluous explanations, his compositions convey strong messages of their own. The cat character carries a sensuality and a rage, a possible critique of contemporary obsession with our self-image. The skull figure appears to be an American war victim who died for his country.
Dee Dee’s use of Japanese symbols can appear, at first, confusing. The root of the artist’s message is based in the imagery not the typography exclusively. It is his characters, colors and shapes that produce an international dialogue. Languages are limited by the number of people who speak them, but the emotions that art produces are a universal feeling that can create a universal language we can all understand. Dee Dee knows what’s up.
