Biography

Ard Doko (b. 1991, Den Helder, The Netherlands) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the complexities of identity, societal structures, and the human condition.

Emerging from the urban art scene at the age of 18, Doko has developed a distinctive visual language that bridges the raw energy of street art with the contemplative depth of fine art.

Self-taught and driven by a desire to challenge norms, Doko employs mediums such as spray paint, acrylics, and audio/video to create compositions that are both visceral and thought-provoking. His signature motif—expressive eyes—serves as a conduit for exploring perception and introspection, inviting viewers to engage with the nuanced layers of his work.

Doko's art has been exhibited internationally, with notable showcases at Museum de Fundatie (Zwolle, NL), GO Gallery (Amsterdam, NL), and Wynwood (Miami,FL). He has exhibited with esteemed artists including Shepard Fairey, The London Police, Max Zorn, and Joseph Klibansky.

Beyond the gallery space, Doko is committed to social engagement, contributing to community projects that address mental health care.
