SEAN DANCONIA
While some glimpse into the face of popular culture and tumble down a raging rabbit hole of ultracommercialism—not Canadian creative Sean Danconia! He dives headfirst into this technicolor koi pond, emerging with a vibrant symphony of pop surrealist contemporary art. A master of remixed media, Danconia builds a universe where cult cinema, comics, anime, adverts, and 60’s counterculture collide in a dazzling drag race of disco-ball inferno (totally safe and legal) 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 mouthwatering dreamscape that you won’t want to wake up from.
Working from his South Florida 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 acroamatic 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, Hello Kitty, Warner Bros. 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!
Mixing mediums like a mad 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, Mouche Gallery (Beverly Hills), Gallery 1988 (LA), Animazing (Venetian), and even rubbing elbows with the gorgeous Carmel-by-the-Sea glitterati at The Ruthless Gallery.
