Artist short biography

Dop Ameen is a worldwide citizen, fine art photographer, art consultant and curator based in Saigon. Born as a creative entrepreneur, he grew up as a gentle rebel. Dop studied rational sciences at the university, lately he graduated with an Executive MBA and worked as an innovator in various industries. He flew beyond many horizons, especially to rock around Asia in 2010 on a motorcycle. That’s how he came into art and photography. Dop has full admiration for David Lynch, an evil passion for Rammstein music and a special dedication to boring things. Early 2012, Dop came up with Bangkok Psycho, a deviant art photography concept dedicated to exploring some human dark sides, because we all know that no one is innocent. In neurosciences, Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Dopamine also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, and it enables us not only to see rewards, but to take action to move toward them. The presence of a certain kind of dopamine receptor is also associated with sensation-seeking people, more commonly known as "risk takers". Sensation-seeking, also called excitement-seeking, is the tendency to pursue sensory pleasure and excitement. It's the trait of people who go after novelty, complexity, and intense sensations, who love experience for its own sake, and who may take risks in the pursuit of such experience.

Differences between Emerging, Mid-career and Established Artists

Emerging Artist

An Emerging Artist is someone who’s in the early stage of his or her career. Someone who’s caught the eye of an art critic and/or gallery but hasn’t yet established a solid reputation as an artist amongst art critics, art buyers, and art galleries. Independent of his or her chronological age, this individual has created a modest independent body of work.

Mid-career Artist

The Mid-career Artist is an artist who has created an independent body of work over a number of years and who has received regional or national recognition through publications or public presentations of his or her work. A Mid-career Artist has had a significant number of solo exhibitions at significant galleries and museums, located nationally or internationally.

Established Artist

An artist who is in the Established stage in his or her career has created an extensive body of independent work. He or she has reached an advanced level of achievement by sustaining a nationally or internationally recognized contribution to the discipline, and his or her work’s value has been decided through consistent years of sales and confirmed at auction.
