Dbsk1

Dbsk1 has been involved in the graffiti/street art movement since 1992.

In 1995 moved to Vancouver to study at the 'Vancouver Film school', where upon graduated with a certificate in 3d animation.
He later worked in the computer game industry for some time before realizing he had a calling to develop his artistic skills within the graphics and fine arts fields.

Since that time he has established his work internationally from exposure on the street and through his travels.

As well his works have been documented and published in several types of media ,and has written articles for international art magazine publications.

Besides this he has also exhibited his work within various collaborative art projects and galleries.

Currently he is involved in designing for apparel and accessories as well as various commissioned projects of private and commercial purposes.

Some of the major background inspirations in his art works are inspired through classic "graffiti" sub-culture and 'Post-Pop' art, while integrating themes and techniques from other graphic sources and fine art genres.

Other influences in his work also stem from comic book art, skateboarding/surfing culture graphics, "underground" music culture, as well as movies and fashion.

These are all the major elements that make up what he is about, and brings some dialogue to his life on a visual level, of which he pays homage to within his works and collaborations.

For the last 2 years he had owned and curated an independent,underground exhibition space in Taipei,Taiwan called 'AMPM', which served as a forum and meeting space for groups interested in street-art related and graffiti inspired exhibitions, along side photography and contemporary graphic arts showcases.

He currently bases his work out of Taipei,Taiwan and has a studio/shop in Taipei under the 'AMPM' title, producing mens and women's apparel and accessories.

DBSK1 自1992 年起便活躍於塗鴉和街頭藝術的領域。1995年他搬到溫哥華，在當地的Vancouver Film School完成動畫設計學業，就接著在一間電腦遊戲公司工作了一段時間。他深深體認到自己還是最熱衷於提升自己平面設計和純藝術的技能，於是他便開始到世界各地旅行，藉由他個人街頭作品的曝光、為不同的外國媒體撰文、辦展和參與藝術合作企劃案而建立國際性的名聲。DBSK1亦同時投入了服裝和配件設計的領域，並接了各類型的私人企劃案或商業設計案。他有某些藝術創作靈感來自於傳統街頭塗鴉文化和後普普藝術，他的作品也融合了其他視覺影像和藝術類型的主題和技術。而他部分創作中的來源和影響則包含了純藝術背景、漫畫藝術、滑板和衝浪設計文化、地下音樂文化和地下藝術電影及時尚。這些重要的文化元素不只定義了他這個人，同時也在視覺層面上闡述了他的生活方式。在他的作品中或是合作設計案裡，可以看出他在對這些文化致上最高的敬意。雖然DBSK1的街頭風格概念有時候對某些人來講太過抽象，但他也創造了一些普羅大眾較能接受的主題來做一些平衡。他喜歡實驗性地融合各類媒材，諸如攝影、電腦設計、影片和大型壁畫來幫助他的作品能夠呈現出更多的原創性、多元性和新鮮感。DBSK1在色彩運用上的技術具有高度名聲，而他的帆布畫作尤其知名。過去兩年他在台灣的台北有一間名為AMPM的獨立地下展出空間，提供了喜愛街頭塗鴉藝術、攝影和當代視覺藝術的朋友們有了聚集的地方。他最近則選定台北作為自己的創作基地，並且和PetShopsGirl這個獨立設計師品牌聯手開了一間AMPM精品店，販售有男裝、女裝和飾品配件。
