After a brief and tumultuous profession in promoting, a layoff pushed artist Sean Hamilton again house to Idaho, the place he arrange a studio on his mother and father’ ranch and determined to totally decide to his tremendous artwork follow. Now primarily based in Seattle, Washington, Hamilton attracts imagery from his rural roots. His work reply to widespread motifs of rural life and showcase its ambitions, which, in Hamilton’s life, meant racing, ladies, bikes, heavy gear, and, invariably, faith.
“Absurd as it’s, I feel there’s one thing to be realized by bringing these uncooked themes to modern artwork,” he explains. “Over these few years although the work has advanced to center American life typically and its inherent absurdity, each in the best way it sees the world and the best way it’s seen by the world. Splitting the canvas in some methods reinforces that divide and in some methods simply produces a extra attention-grabbing narrative.”
A collection of Hamilton’s work might be on view in a solo present titled “Idaho,” opening on December 10 at Goodmother Gallery, Los Angeles. Take a look at extra of his work under!
