Doris (UK)

Doris is a UK-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, installation, and social intervention. Emerging from the vibrant underground art scenes of London in the late 1990s, Doris quickly garnered attention for their incisive exploration of public space, urban decay, and forgotten histories. Drawing from influences that range from Situationist strategies to grassroots activism, Doris’s work interrogates the boundaries between art and daily life, often incorporating found objects, ephemeral materials, and participatory elements.

Their unique visual language—marked by bright, playful colours juxtaposed with biting social commentary—has earned them exhibitions at renowned institutions such as Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery, as well as numerous street-level projects and collaborations with community groups. Deeply invested in questions of access and authorship, Doris continually strives to subvert traditional hierarchies in the art world, seeking instead to foster dialogue, inclusivity, and a sense of shared agency among audiences.
