The evolution of Dadara’s artistry is a fascinating odyssey, born from Amsterdam’s thriving house culture of the early 90s. From flyers and record sleeves to wailing baby speakers, this marked the start of his impressive career as an idea-generating creative, cartoonist, and painter.
As time passed, Dadara’s focus shifted to elaborate installations and performances in public spaces, including Dreamyourtopia and the Fools Ark for Burning Man in the Nevada desert, USA. Notably, in 2002, Dadara became the first foreign artist to participate in Burning Man.
In recent times, he has revisited his passion for drawing and painting, while also spearheading guerrilla art actions across the globe. One noteworthy example is his most recent guerrilla action, where he draped giant banners and fences over the iconic “I Amsterdam” installation. The words inscribed on the banners read “I am Dream,” a thought-provoking commentary on the effects of gentrification.
