Danny Sobor, born in 1992 in Chicago, now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He received his BFA in Visual Art and Neuroscience from Brown University in 2015. Sobor’s art practice combines digital and traditional methodology to explore themes of visual transience, memory and loss.
Using film, photography, and the digital fragments sourced through Yandex’s reverse image platform, Sobor collects ephemeral images, often barely traceable, which he reinterprets in oils. Inspired by Hito Steyerl’s concept of the “poor image” and sympathetic to Eberhard Havekost’s anonymized forms, Sobor’s paintings capture the quiet blur of internet-sourced visuals in a traditional medium, resulting in timeless, visually ambiguous works that invite personal interpretation.
