DAN GROOVER

About the Artist:

Dan Groover spent his childhood in Paris, France, currently working in Jerusalem, Israel.
His artistic career started in the eighties with the apparition of the urban French Hip-hop culture and found its unique expression through graffiti art. As it turned out, wall painting was a way to express his inspiration and creativity. Among his numerous accomplishments, one was for the stage design of James Brown Caribbean tour. His works have been on display in various exhibitions in the West Indies, US and France.
In 1988, Dan Groover moved his residence to the French Indies where the change of scenery and the slower pace of life encouraged his painting to transfer from walls to canvases, continuing his art training and fine tuning his style and skillset in the Art School of Martinique. His artistic approach took a turn with the course of his life in 1995, in moving to Jerusalem sparking a new transition in his life. He began studying the Torah in depth, which nourished his artistic creativity. Jazz and Hip-Hop music, famous modern painters, dancers, American cultural symbols and the city of New-York are among his favorite subjects inspiring his artmaking. Identifying as an Israeli artist now, Groover’s work continues to evolve in his home in Israel both in the realm of his outdoor graffiti as well as in his urban, pop art paintings.
