Fantasy Scenes

Launched in 2013 ‘Fantasy Scenes’ are hyper-real coastal vistas featuring vintage arcade machines as their central subjects. The iconic coin-op video games central to the artworks come from the industry's golden era of the 1980s were sourced through aficionados in Europe and America, a process that took over 3 years to fully research and photograph.

“I wanted the machines to have a monolithic presence in each of the artworks,” says Danny, “as if they had appeared in the manner of the obsidian shard in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Their arrival spreads colour through the landscapes and sky”

These artworks have been exhibited in London, Newcastle, Paris, Copenhagen, Beijing and Tokyo.
