DANCONIA · A LIFE IN PICTURES

While some glimpse into the face of popular culture and view-master a rabbit-holed reel of incomprehensible ultra-commercialism—not Canadian creative Sean Danconia! He dives headfirst into this technicolor koi pond, emerging with a vibrant symphony of contemporary POP surrealist ART. Danconia spins a (re)mixed-media universe where cult cinema, comics, anime, adverts and 60’s counterculture collide in a dazzling drag race disco-ball (and BOND…James Bond) inferno of acid-tripping eye candy!

That’s Danconia’s UltraMOD Art—every brushstroke and pixel an invitation to an endless treasure trove of sampled, stolen (never!), reinvented, reimagined and (politely) borrowed iconography—crafted into a mondo multiverse matrix that even Morpheus doesn’t want you to wake up from!

Working from his Palm Beach above-ground Batcave, Danconia continues to turn the art world on its head, his creations an irreverent rebellion against the obvious and ordinary—an ever-evolving enigmatic journey through a surreal history of POP, PUNK, MOD, and CULT.

After mastering his craft in Italy, Hong Kong, and Vancouver, this Montreal maverick, Danconia (named for another Sean who was also a BOND), crash-landed onto the LA art scene in 2008 like a 007-glitter bomb at a Blofeld black-tie event.

His signature style has graced official programs for Disney®, New Balance, Tezuka, Sanrio, Warner Bros., Bob Marley and even Popeye—because who wouldn't want an Olive in their killer kawaii kurant cocktail? With a knack for predicting trends years before they hit, Danconia's creative toolbox is like Felix the Cat’s magic Louis Vuitton murse—overflowing with hand-painted, illustrated, and digital wizardry. And 100% authentic (often imitated yet never equaled)!

Mixing mediums like a Mad Max Headroom scientist at a paint-and-pixel after-party, he's crafted his own irreverent brand of UltraMOD rebellion. His art has been spotted strutting its stuff at Haven (Palm Beach), Sothebys, Disneyland®, Mouche Gallery (Beverly Hills), Morikami Museum & Garden, Gallery 1988, Animazing, and even rubbing elbows with the gorgeous Carmel-by-the-Sea glitterati at The Ruthless Gallery. Next up? NOBU Miami and the iconic EDEN ROC Hotel. ‘NUFF SAID!
