SharkCon 2025 – Day 2: A Sea of Gratitude and Connection As the final day of my 8th solo exhibition at SharkCon came to a close, the tide of gratitude rose even higher. Sunday was filled with meaningful reunions, vibrant new encounters, and heartwarming stories shared across generations of ocean lovers and art admirers.

It was a privilege to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws amidst the SharkCon community, whose passion continues to inspire both cinematic and artistic legacies. I’m deeply thankful to the event organizers and volunteers for their flawless coordination, hospitality, and dedication to making this weekend truly memorable.

From returning collectors to curious first-time guests, each visitor brought fresh energy and perspective to my work. Friends I first met 20 years ago at U.S. dive shows stopped by to reconnect, and new acquaintances offered insights and enthusiasm that lit up the booth.

📸 Many pictures from Day 2 will be shared soon—most are already featured on my Facebook page at “Pascal Lecocq painter.”

And with that, I’m thrilled to announce I’ve officially signed up for SharkCon 2026, happening July 18–19 in Tampa. The journey continues, and I can’t wait to dive deeper with you next year.
