Long Distance Reality

Denial (aka Daniel Bombardier) has always used his clever and ironic street art to make sense of his surroundings. Drawing inspiration from pop art and popular culture, Denial creates playfully grim imagery that sticks a nihilist thumb at consumer capitalism, pointing to corporations’ insatiable greed and shoppers’ fathomless gullibility. Sometimes referencing big-name brands directly, Denial’s art holds a mirror up to a world that’s making an absolute fool of itself.

"My work speaks of impending doom and a lot of crass sinister themes, but that should not mean I desire this to happen at all. I hope my work suggests the opposite: to show the ridiculousness of it all and how we may find better solutions for the future. Shit has to change and that is what I believe my work truly speaks to."
