danny oconnor artist biography

My inspiration walks a tightrope between high and lowbrow sources as diverse as Comics, Illustration, Character Design, Tattoo art and Graffiti to Abstract Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Art Noveau, Modernism and Constructivism all pulled together to create hyper stylised and abstracted works.

Danny O’Connor is an artist living and working in Liverpool, UK.

He studied Graphic Arts at Liverpool John Moores Art School.The paintings are built up in layer upon layer of paint which give the pieces great depth of field.

He likes to mix natural flowing lines with harsh diagonals.

Clean crisp areas of colour with layered messy splashes of paint. Contrasts play a big role in what he does; it's probably the most resounding feature throughout all of his work in one way or another. All applied in an equally diverse manner using brushes, fingers, paint rollers, sticks, paper and cardboard to drip, splash, spray, print and stroke the paint onto the surface.”

Danny O'Connor, born August 2nd1981, in Liverpool and studied Graphic Arts at Liverpool John Moores Art School.

His work is a celebration of contrasts focussing mainly on portraits and figures with a prevalence of opposing artistic influences.

Contrasts play a big role in what I do, it’s probably the most resounding feature throughout all of my work in one way or another. They are created with an arsenal of tools that doesn’t settle with convention.“As well as the more widely acknowledged paint and brush I use all manner of mediums such as, Correction Fluid, Spray Paint, Ink, Paint Markers, Texture Pastes, Charcoal, Graphite, Oil sticks and Collage.

His inspiration walks a tightrope between high and lowbrow sources as diverse as Comics, Illustration, Character Design, Tattoo Art and Graffiti to German Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelites, Modernism and Constructivism all pulled together to create hyper stylised and abstracted works.
