Born in 1995, Daniel Sachon is a British image maker and creative director. Sachon is known for his complex, detail-orientated approach; he deconstructs and employs the visual indicators of the shared languages of art and commerce, allowing him to reverse engineer the image making process and meticulously construct worlds that exist somewhere between art and commerce, reality and fantasy. His work is a triality of visual exploration; it questions how a narrative is created art-historically, celebrates our enduring obsession with ageless glamour, and critiques the slick and meticulous formation of advertising campaigns designed to subliminally inform our lives.

James Turrell’s ‘Twilight Epiphany’ in Houston, Texas via @collectorwalls

Built in 2012, the pyramidal structure accommodates 120 people between two levels. Twilight Epiphany is acoustically engineered to host musical performances and to act as a laboratory for Shepherd School of Music students. Constructed of grass, concrete, stone, and composite steel, the structure is equipped with an LED light sequence that projects onto the ceiling and through an aperture in the 72-foot square knife-edge roof during sunrise and at sunset. Turrell’s composition of light complements the natural light present at twilight and transforms the Skyspace into a locale for experiencing beauty and reflecting on the surrounding campus and the natural world.

“Shields has produced images that play with notions of the gaze, power structures, hyper-realism, iconoclastic-tendencies and cinematographic practice”.

Internationally, Tyler Shields exhibitions attract record-breaking attendance, while his limited edition prints are some of the most sought after images in the world. In his ten-year career Shields has photographed all manner of celebrity-- Hollywood legends like Bruce Willis to tech giants like Elon Musk. Shields’ earliest work chronicles young Hollywood glitterati doing what every magazine told him could not be done, such as Lindsey Lohan running wild through Los Angeles and Emma Roberts jumping off of buildings.

Damien Hirst in his studio

“Freezing moments in time! This was July 2021 after my cherry blossom show in Paris with fading blue hair, I don’t know why I love these so much but I do, a bit smaller than usual and no colour but I’m in the zone here. They are all finished now and working out what to do with them, still love the idea of a show called “where the land meets the sea” I love the way a painted photograph is itself a captured moment in time. But kinda dead, yet when you throw paint at it it feels risky and more alive yet all the paint is just still more frozen moments but all the paint contains the energy of the throwing. I love the movement and the moments.”

"It's worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change." - Queen Elizabeth II (1926 - 2022)

Artist @esdevlin creates large-scale public art works and stage sculptures that combine light, music and language.

“In the fierce beauty of the Agafay desert, a ring of light and haze emerges from a well. It’s impossible to imagine its presence before it arrives - and impossible to conceive of its absence once it’s in place. The work draws on our reading of Paul Bowles’ searing 1949 novel The Sheltering Sky. Bowles reminds us to consider the precious finite within the seemingly infinite: “We think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.” Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky I read these words when I first traveled to Morocco and they have come to my mind each time I have seen a full moon ever since.”

Eve De Haan is a young London based artist with an incredible appetite for creativity. Her degree in Theology has informed and influenced her work, developing a strong body of installations which examine concepts of change and the imprint technology is having on youth culture.

She has exhibited in Europe and the U.S in iconic galleries such as the Saatchi gallery and the Museum of Neon in LA. She was recently invited to lead on an Instagram Live for Tate London. She has had billboards in London, created artwork for Nike & been featured in major publications.

Her creations are provocative and challenging. Through her love of the written word Eve finds neon the perfect medium to explore the gradients and shades of meaning within a statement.

Stik started painting unofficial, socially conscious murals in his hometown of Hackney, East London in 2001. His simple stick figures wordlessly tell the story of his community and he frequently collaborates with hospitals, charities and homeless organisations. Working from his East London studio, these projects are largely self-funded and he now creates monumental artworks with communities across the world.

Coming Soon to @imitatemodern …. @dsachon

Born in 1995, Daniel Sachon is a British image maker and creative director.

Daniel’s multi disciplinary approach to his practice celebrates how a narrative is created art historically; the beauty and allure of fashion, and the psychological formation of advertising campaigns designed to subliminally inform our lives.

In the construction of his compositions, a considered approach and understanding of mis-en-scene allows Daniel to unlock our collective cultural consciousness. Referencing the aestheticized eras of the late 20th century, Daniel deconstructs fundamental elements of the image making process to engineer work that evokes a sense of timelessness and engages the familiarity of ‘golden age’ nostalgia.

Daniels interplay with these visual indicators points to the journey photography has taken to arrive at this point today; Photography as a medium, the image maker as the director, its role in the synergetic relationship of art and commerce, and how this has affected and continues to affect our fluid cultural consciousness.

@romerobritto is known for creating alternative pieces using many different mediums, including painting, sculpting and graffiti. His work is easily recognisable for his bold use of vibrant colours and bold brush strokes. The Romero Britto artworks often convey a sense of hope, happiness and wonder. Many of his works also have a theme of love or childhood joy.

Britto has evolved as an artist throughout his long-standing career, and now he has become one of the most famous alternative artists in the world. He was able to show his art publicly for the first time when he was just 14 years old. When this happened, he soon found himself travelling from Brazil to the United States to be a part of the pop art scene that was gaining traction in the Western world.

If you have any more questions about Romero or his work, please do not hesitate to contact our helpful and friendly team at the Imitate Modern gallery of London.

Dimitri Likissas’ work stems from a long tradition of using distinct dots of color in art, which the viewer’s mind blends together to create the final image. Playing with chromatic tonality and the dissection of visual planes, Dimitri creates works that seem to move and undulate within the canvas as if attempting to escape their two dimensional confines. While the dots work together in harmony to create the image, their circular nature acts in opposition to his square or rectangular canvases, reminding us of the basic elements of life and how atoms are in a constant movement – propelling against each other – creating matter itself.

Having studied the works of the original Pointillist masters, such as Georges Seurat and Henri Edmond-Cross, as well as pop artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Keith Haring, Likissas gives us a fresh interpretation on the usage of dots in painting.

While having been painting and experimenting with dots and color for over 20 years, his body of work has maintained the same technical and stylistic approach over all these years while the content has developed as he has moved through different countries and life events.

Contemporary artist Sara Pope is best known for her bold, seductive paintings of voluptuous lips. Taking inspiration from a successful career in the fashion industry as a shoe designer for brands such as Paul Smith, and also her work in magazines as a designer and art director, Sara aims to capture the sensuality and seductive power conveyed by the lips and mouth. Interested in questions of beauty, communication, and the notion of perfection, Sara uses the perspective of her commercial experience to explore these themes.

The starting point is a makeup brush and a lipstick. She paints the models’ lips, then, using tricks and techniques of makeup and lighting, she begins the process of creating the perfect lips. She asks the model, to express different emotions which she captures photographically. Using these shots as inspiration she begins the artwork. The painting process involves several layers of thin oil-diluted paint being overlaid, blending and smoothing the colours extensively at every stage, sometimes also mixing lipstick into the paint.

Emulating the stylistic slickness of advertising, the result is glossy, perfect and irresistible.
