James Dodd is a South Australian artist, arts educator and street artist who used the pseudonym Dlux for his street art when he operated out of Melbourne. [1]
Born in Bordertown in 1977, [2] Dodd has a Bachelor of Visual Art and a Masters of Visual Art from the University of South Australia. [3] Dodd teaches at Adelaide Central School of Art. [4] As a street artist, he used the pseudonym Dlux [5] and was one of a group of street artists who considered legal action against the National Gallery of Australia when it failed to pay them in a timely manner for their works. [6]
He began doing street art in Adelaide in 1998, using stencils to mass-produce stickers. [7] Dodd moved to Melbourne around 2002 because of the street-art scene. [8] As Dlux, Dodd was a powerful presence on the Melbourne streets but also undertook a large amount of gallery work, and his stencils were always very politically motivated. [9] As Dlux, Dodd is also featured in the documentary film Rash (2005), which explores the cultural value of street art in Melbourne. [10]
He was one of the most active street artists in Melbourne but returned to Adelaide to undertake further studies (Masters in Visual Art, University of South Australia. [11] Since then, his practice has expanded to include painting and sculpture, celebrating Australia's culture of rebellion and resistance. [12]
Dodd’s practice incorporates street art, [13] sculpture, and painting. His street art has been criticised for 'glamourising dangerous youth gangs'. [14] His sculpture and paintings reflect his rural upbringing [15] and he uses objects such as bus shelters, [16] bicycles, [17] and surfboards [18] as a basis for his work. He also constructs objects such as River Cycle ('a bicycle in a tinnie'), [19] and drawing [20] and painting machines. [21]
Dodd’s work is held in the following collections:
