Feature Artist - Sean A. Kehr

Old Woods Artist Gatherings,

Welcome to Summer 2016 and hello sun,

This week we have another awesome artist for you. His name is Sean A. Kehr.



Sean (35) is from his hometown Mt. Shasta, CA. Sean says he became interested in art via his mother who was a painter and she shared that passion with both his sister and him at an early age. With art supplies readily available and he never wanted for an opportunity to be creative. In college Sean fooled around with the idea of creating unintentional art. H wanted to make something that came direct from his subconscious and that could represent a conceptual state. When he had trouble finding a career that fit him later in life, Sean took out his old pad and found that if he got out of his way making abstract art came easily to me.

We asked Sean what types of art he likes to work in, he replied, "I paint, draw, and print abstract images based off meditations on concepts like loss and loneliness." Sean's dream art project if ever given the chance would be to create a sculpture garden of metal trees with frosted glass leaves and blown glass fruits filled with starscapes.

Sean's current favorite is a piece he has completed called "Dancing Shadows", his first large scale print. With this piece Sean says, "Every element came together exactly the way I wanted to create something more than I could have hoped for. It explores the nature of what it means to be hidden in a world obsessed with transparency and in the process what value truth has."

We also asked Sean if there were any artists that have inspired him, he replied with, "Salvador Dalí probably with his masterful way of manipulating the audience into accepting his reality."
