Artist: DENIAL (Canadian, b. 1976)
DENIAL is the pseudonym for Daniel Joseph Bombardier, a Canadian muralist and urban artist whose work centers around critiques of modern society. There are many recurring themes to DENIAL’s pieces, including politics, capitalism, and consumer-driven culture. While DENIAL’s pieces are often biting and satirical, it’s his grounding in the human element that makes his art different from many of his contemporaries.
DENIAL works out of his studio, based in the city of Windsor, just on the other side of Lake Michigan from the US. His adoption of the alter ego ‘DENIAL’ came largely as a way to make fun of advertising and mass media messages which often portray less than realistic versions of modern-day life.
