Danny Sangra at Subaquatica: The Velvet King Overthrow
March 29th, 2006
Danny Sangra is a UK artist and graphic designer, originally from Leeds from where he moved to London to study at Central St Martins. He’s also a member of the Scrawl Collective of (mostly street) artists and A Minute Silence with whom he works for the fashion industry as a print and textile designer. He has done several solo shows and exhibited in Florence, Berlin and twice in Tokyo and has also worked as an illustrator and designer for magazines such as Jockey Slut, Blag, X-Ray or Sleazenation and companies like Sony, Orange Mobile, Beams Clothing, Bread & Butter, Virgin Records or Merlin Clothing among many others. And about his style, well, in his own words: “My Painting style has evolved to using geometric shapes and precise line work combined with organic structures. I paint freely moving in and out of styles depending on my mood. I prefer to paint spaces, so the paint has room to grow and takeover”.
“The Velvet King Overthrow” is the title of his show he has prepared for Subaquatica where he will be showing brand new work silk screen patch work painting never shown before. It is the first series of his most recent explorations combining painting and silk screening.
