ABOUT
Daimon Downey is a Sydney-based multidisciplinary contemporary artist with a Fine Art degree whose studio practice specialises in abstract and expressionist painting, resin, sculpture and ceramics. With a background in music – a former frontman for ARIA-winning band Sneaky Sound System – his art is loud, full of life, pace and unabashed colour. The artist’s work has struck a chord with local and international clients for over 15 years, with a string of sell-out shows across Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and New York.
Rooted in fantasy and the imagination, his art is a sensory invitation for onlookers to seek pleasure, comfort and unapologetic joy in its exploration of colour, balance and form. Each timeless piece is designed to be lived with, offering a window of escape from the mundane and often harsh realities of life.
Downey has been commissioned to design artworks for some of Australia’s leading interior designers – Tam Johnson, Merci Mason and Matters Made – and hospitality operators including Byron Bay Hotel Raes on Wategos, Ravesis Hotel in Bondi, Matteo Downtown, Matteo Double Bay, North Bondi Fish, River Bar and Kitchen Brisbane, Clock Hotel Surry Hills, The Golden Sheaf, Barangaroo House. Sell-out shows include exhibitions at Byron Bay’s converted Tigmi Trading, James St, MCM House, Vault House, Yellow House Potts Point, The Post Building Potts Point.
Downey is excited to release a collection of his works as signed limited edition prints on archival cold pressed cotton paper delivered to your door.
His work is born in Downey’s studio, Popcorn Penthouse in Paddington, Daimon’s hub for artists, workshops, exhibitions as well as an intimate and unique event space experience.
