Desire Obtain Cherish
alias Jonathan Paul

Since his emergence as street artist in the early 2000s Desire Obtain Cherish ((DOC) has become known as pop sculpture working across a whole variety of different media and combination of styles including street, pop, conceptual and appropriation art.His controversial art work explores contemporary  desires and obsessions with sex, genders, drugs, commerce, media and fame.Transporting controversial, satirical messages, Desire's vibrantly colorful, entertaining and impeccably produced art exposes society's inability to control itself and examines the commercial promise of fulfilment and happiness that ends in dependency.

Born in 1975 in Salinas, California, DOC graduated from the nationally acclaimed Parson's School of Design with bachelor's in fFine Arts.
