2021 ARTIST BIOS | DANGER DAVE

/ / Artist Bios 2021

We’re a team of nonconformists making larger-than-life inflatable sculptures, event props, and thought-provoking production concepts under the artist name “Cool Shit”.

It started with Lionel Richie’s head. Since then, we’ve been to Coachella, Art Basel (a few times), popped-up in East London and even exhibited in Australia. Our creations are quickly reaching as far as the Internet. As a studio, we’ve worked hard to make a name for ourselves and our clients. But as artists, we just want to wake up everyone’s inner child with absurdly memorable tongue-in-cheek experiences. If you’re looking for something extraordinary to cut through the bullshit, say hello to Cool Shit.

 

2021 SWELL ARTWORK – Damien Hirst looking for sharks, Danger Dave

Damien Hirst looking for sharks is a reference to Hirst’s most impactful work in which he captured and placed a large tiger shark in formaldehyde. This was later sold for $12 million. Considering that the shark was captured on this same coast line, it seemed fun to imagine him, in his pink snorkelling gear, on the hunt for his first million.
