BIOGRAPHY
Douglas Rouse
Douglas Rouse is a professional muralist, trompe l'oeil specialist and
award-winning 3-D street painter/chalk artist based out of Colorado Springs. He
has been self-employed since he started his company, ROUSE 66, in 1992. His nine
years in Hamburg, Germany and nine years in Colorado have meshed into a powerful
and reliable artistic direction.
Although mural painting has been the main focus of his
business he is a prolific contemporary artist and a member of the Modbo
Collective. His works on canvas, normally larger in format, utilizing mixed
media and acrylic latex, can be seen at the Modbo Artspace in downtown Colorado
Springs and its affiliated locations.
In Colorado, some of his public murals can been seen at the
Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center, Seven Falls, Starsmore Discovery
Center and the Pikes Peak Heritage Center in Cripple Creek. In 2009 Rouse
created, and started, the 12 Mural Project, a movement to flood Colorado Springs
with twelve large-scale artistic masterpieces. Look for the latest mural on the
Warehouse Restaurant & Gallery building located at 25 W Cimarron St.
Quoted as being “the most versatile artist in Colorado”
Rouse continues to reinvent himself for new occasions. This year, on February 12th,
at the Broadmoor, he was the featured artist of the 2011 American Heart
Association’s Heart Ball, astonishing the public with his live Speed Painting.
Speed Painting is done on a large canvas, with fingers, and usually completed in
minutes.
“I am able to thrive as an artist in Colorado because my
community believes in me. Thank you Colorado.”
