Artist Statement
I am concerned with the creation of an evolving perceptual interaction between my work and the viewer. The juxtaposed interaction of vibrantly layered colors and abstract elements in non-sequential repetition has the cumulative effect of creating an optical phenomena of vibrational, energetic movement along with perceptual ambiguities. These works are meant to be contemplated at length. Thus the committed viewer is continuously rewarded with a transmuted visual display.
About the work
The featured art works have been created using a unique synthetic fabric/paper. Each strip has been hand painted and precisely hand cut so as to retain an organic nature of the forms. The artist refers to these collaged, multi-layered paintings as “thickets” due to their dense reed like appearance. These award winning works have been collected throughout the United States, and have also been featured in prominent art + design publications.
Sean can be contacted through this site for current available works or commissions or gallery inquires.
