Sonny Behan, also known as Sonny Sundancer, is an acclaimed artist renowned for his large-scale public artworks, sculptures, and strong studio practice, exhibiting in galleries worldwide. His work fuses hyper-realism with abstraction, evoking a deep emotional connection that taps into the peace and connection one feels in nature.
Known for his surreal settings and hyper-realistically painted animals, Sonny’s pieces transport viewers to otherworldly realms where nature and imagination collide. His abstract work, characterized by urban grit, rich textures, and spray techniques, explores the balance between order and chaos, while a distinctive overlay acts as a veil, bridging the natural world with urban environments. This unique approach reflects his technical mastery and passion for creating dynamic pieces filled with energetic movement that act as a visceral connection with the viewer.
Sonny’s passion for using his creativity to highlight the need to protect and preserve the natural world has earned him the reputation of being an artist who is deeply engaged and driven to make an impact. To this end, Sonny has collaborated with prestigious organizations, such as World Wildlife Fund, United Nations, UNICEF, IFAW, Global Citizen and Discovery Inc., to create public art installations around the world.
