Duncan Sopko is a mixed media artist based out of Manhattan, New York. He is known for embodying an intense vivacity for life, which can be seen by the raw expression that he exudes in his imaginative pieces. His art combines animated, cartoonish, and often humorous elements with the overarching theme of finding purpose as a human. He focuses on creating mixed media canvas pieces, but also hand-prints on clothing and footwear. Duncan’s work functions as a call to action for those seeking an escape from the mundanity of life to discover and embrace their own radical self-expression.
He is grounded in a disciplined creative process, which can be seen in his work by reflecting the ground-up, balanced approach to living that he embodies. While his pieces portray a sense of chaos and a passion for creativity, they are deeply rooted in his philosophy of the interconnectedness of things. If you look closely, you can see how his paintings emphasize the importance of investing oneself across multiple domains of life, such as physical health, relationships, work, and personal wellness. This balanced perspective enriches his art with both emotional depth and his playful, free spirit, inviting his audience to reflect on life’s deeper values through a kind of fragmented, categorized lens.
Duncan’s artistic vision has been influenced by a series of transformative spiritual events that occurred throughout his life, which in turn have heightened his awareness of the importance of humanity. His art critiques the isolation fostered by modern technology and celebrates the humanistic reform that is needed to reconnect with the fundamental values that are inherent in human beings.
