About ‘BRIQUE’: The ‘BRIQUE’ collection by ‘DOES’ Over the past 20 years, the artist ‘DOES’ has been pushing his personal and creative boundaries with each new work. Spending an endless amount of time, practicing and perfecting his style, facing walls worldwide. With a disciplined mindset and high production pace, the artist created a massive body of work.

From China to Mexico and Australia to New York, all across the globe, he painted huge colorful murals. Each painting representing a moment in time, layered by colors.

In recent years, DOES searched for ways to combine outside murals with his highly detailed studio paintings. The outcome resulted in ‘BRIQUE’; his first sculpture collection. ‘BRIQUE’ is about collecting pieces from past walls and reshaping them into a new form. Reconnecting with foregone moments in front of the wall, transforming them into a new body. ‘BRIQUE’ originated when DOES returned to the very first wall he ever painted. He extracted parts of this initial wall and used them as core elements in his new pieces. Connecting all moments in time, including his own and transforming them into a new form.

DOES spent a full week in Miami where the Miami Art Basel took place. Wyn 317 invited him to stay in the residency on the 2nd floor of their new building. The gallery moved down the street from central Miami to get away from state-of-the-art buildings and the ever-increasing frenzy of modern times. So here DOES stayed, just footsteps from his work in progress. Expositions and art fairs attracted collectors and artists from all over the globe. DOES immersed in the coolest shows like ‘Scope’, ‘Juxtapoz’ and ‘Untitled’. But the most thrilling show of them all for DOES was the show by customs at the Orlando airport. After opening the case with the carefully packed sculpture BRIQUE_N°06 ‘Nova’, customs informed DOES that it would probably not be flown to Miami. After a nerve-racking flight the case rolled onto the luggage-belt in Miami airport after all, popping the start of a great week exposing this brand-new piece at group exhibition ‘This is Now!’. BRIQUE_N°06 ‘Nova’ is the only sculpture by DOES now exposed in the US. It will be on display at Wyn 317 Gallery till the end of January 2019.
