The Story
Dan Pearce’s original mixed media piece Ghosted (Blue), measuring 18" x 18", is a striking sculptural artwork that pays homage to both retro gaming culture and the artist’s dynamic urban style. Constructed from stacked, spray-painted aerosol cans, the piece forms the unmistakable pixelated shape of a ghost from the classic arcade game Pac-Man. Deep cobalt and electric blue tones dominate the composition, while crisp white and black cans form the ghost’s large, expressive eyes, creating a playful yet bold focal point.
Pearce’s use of reclaimed materials reflects his passion for blending unexpected textures and elements. The glossy finish and clean lines give the piece a polished, contemporary edge, while the choice of subject injects a sense of nostalgia and pop culture relevance. The simplicity of the form is elevated by the vibrancy of the colour palette and the physical presence of the cans, inviting viewers to engage with the work from every angle.
Known for his innovative mixed media portraits and large-scale urban-inspired works, Dan Pearce fuses influences from Warhol and Lichtenstein with modern street art energy. Ghosted (Blue) perfectly embodies his unique style—fun, bold, and thought-provoking—while continuing his exploration of culture, identity, and the visual impact of everyday objects reimagined as art.
