    peep podcast Doodle D Carthartic Energy Through Street Art Newcastle

    Message peep peep podcast catch up with Doodle Dan painting street art murals with the Bridge Hip Hop festival. Dan's approach to street art takes a more classic style, despite having no formal background in fine art. Doodle_D_  discovered a passion for graffiti art that would not only channel creative forces but would also redefine his identity. Through layered colours and fading techniques, Dan brings a classical touch reminiscent of the Renaissance, blending the beauty of historical artistry with contemporary graffiti street art aesthetics. His processes and styles reveal a commitment to experimentation, encouraging aspiring artists to develop their techniques. peep podcast learns about trips to London, where Dan observed artists employing the grid method for efficiency and accuracy. This revelation sparked two questions—the integrity of street art and the increasing reliance on innovative techniques to achieve desired outcomes. Dan embraces this grid system, advocating for progress and finesse. While some traditionalist peers might dismiss this method as ‘cheating’, Dan argues, at its core, art is about expression and impact. He effectively challenges the preconceived notions surrounding artistic authenticity, pushing boundaries and encouraging dialogue about what it means to be an artist today. The episode also touches upon the deeper personal motivations behind art. For Dan, this occurred at a pivotal moment in his life where he sought a 'cathartic energy', leading to an obsession with drawing after struggles early in his academic career. As he shares his story, listeners can palpably feel his passion for art reverberate through the conversation. It’s not merely about technique; it’s about refuge and finding purpose in creativity. This journey is accessible and relatable, serving as a reminder that the path to artistry isn’t always linear or traditional. Listeners will find value in Dan's revelations about the vital intersection of personal experience and artistic development. As we conclude this conversation, the overarching theme resonates: the evolution of art and the artists behind it can arise from unexpected places. Whether you're a seasoned artist or mural art enthusiast with an appreciation for urban art, there are rich lessons to draw from Dan’s experience that inspire everyone to embrace their unique artistic journey, no matter how unconventional.
