The artist’s first nationally released collection, simply called 'Dan Pearce - DNA' is due to be released on the 22nd of March; this is a milestone for Dan as a published artist & also a recognition of his immense talent with the paintbrush, canvas or indeed the spray can!
The set includes seven paintings, two Lenticulars (modern holographic/ 3D images): 'Aim For love’ & ‘Another Dimension,’ as well as limited edition mixed media exploring love, graffiti, Marilyn Monroe, butterflies and skulls with titles: ‘Reflections On Love,’ ‘Scent From Above,’ ‘Wings Of Love,’ ‘Flight Of Fantasy.’

Lastly, the piece de resistance of the collection will be ‘A Class Part,’ so far his 7th image featuring her late majesty Queen Elizbeth II & a reworking of her postage stamp pose, imbued with the Union Jack colours and a generous helping of graffiti art!
This limited edition is reminiscent of Dan’s contemporary Paul Oz, who also has had fabulous success with the ongoing Paul Oz - The Queen On A Postage Stamp - Collection & paints her late Majesty with immense passion.
As you can see, there is something endlessly fascinating about Pearce’s work and with this ‘DNA’ series he experiments with: mirror, resins, neon paints and even 3D printing, as the artist truly is on the cutting edge of art formation & design.
Dan's first release on our radar was 'Hope' in May 2021 and this was a limited edition resin sculpture by Dan created in conjunction with Maxim, one of the frontmen of the famous UK The Prodigy - this was not actually on general release to galleries & had a limited launch.

‘Hope’ is sculpture of a boy in a gas mask, reaching for a hand grenade & to which he is about to pull the pin. There is a heart inside this resin grenade and at the time it was representative for the Vaccines during the Covid19 crisis.
There was a choice of colours and the sculpture would be spray paint finished by Dan & Maxim and would also come 4 exclusive tracks on a memory card, including one called 'Hope'! So there where lots of added collectability added to this release & it was a sell out!
We welcome new artist Australian born Dan Pearce to our portfolio, a modern street artist with amazing twists of innovation and flair.
Dan blends styles such as spray paint, collage, graffiti and urban art into his fantastic paintings and we have a range of originals available on request – as well as his first limited edition: ‘Born To Rule’ of Queen Elizabeth II.

The artist has actually been showcasing his work since the early 2010s with London and international appearances. He made some waves in the London art scene with his commissioned portrait of World Heavyweight Boxing champion Anthony Joshua; we also hear he is favoured by many Premier League footballs for their own personal and family portraits.
Dan also supports various charities including the Amy Winehouse Foundation, The British Wildlife Foundation and various wildlife causes - something we often see amongst British based artists such as the late David Shepherd (who started his own foundation) and Gary Hodges who is heavily involved in raising money for such.
The artist is based in South London and his can be found on Instagram
