About the Artist
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Roland Douglas Jr. Aka Dororo, has always had a knack for trouble finding him, but quickly discovered his true passion was art. From age 6, Roland was given the name "Dororo" by his Grandma, meaning he was her “Little Forest” because his painting style is driven by movement and collision. Paint is thrown, dragged, splintered, and layered until the surface becomes a record of action. Lines behave like thoughts mid-sentence, splashes arrive like interruptions, and colors argue, overlap, and reconcile in real time. There is no single focal point because the eye is meant to wander, to get lost, to participate. His canvases feel less like finished objects and more like moments caught mid-breath.
Influenced by abstract expressionism, such as Jackson Pollock with street culture, and sequential storytelling, Dororo treats paint the way others treat language. Drips become punctuation. Scratches become revisions. Negative space becomes silence. The result is work that feels visceral, emotional, and unapologetically human. You don’t just view a Dororo piece, you enter it.
