Confirmed Competitors
Art Battle Wilmington
📍 The Queen
12 confirmed artists
Christopher Jason Harper
GooDOne brings bold, raw lines and vibrant colors to life with a style that thrives on rhythm, instinct, and streetwise energy. His work moves between abstract labyrinths of black-and-white geometry, surreal character portraits dripping with color, and larger-than-life faces that confront the viewer head-on. Whether it’s the jagged maze of interlocking forms, the neon-bright figure with flowing hair and sharp attitude, or the powerful blue visage painted live with fast strokes, GooDOne’s art carries the pulse of both the street and the stage. Every piece is a battle in itself
