ARTIST STATEMENT
A multi-disciplinary artist.
Sebstroke has an experimental and impulse based approach to his practice. The self-taught artist attempts to externalise his, often intangible and subconscious, human experience. In the hope of accessing an understanding that deals with existential questions of the psyche and the soul.
Through a combination of mediums like painting, collage, sculpture and installation, light design, the form nurtures explorations of ideas such as: melancholy, unsettledness, contradiction, anxiety, beauty and the absurd.
'The subject matter of the work comes down to the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. To find a reason to get out of bed every morning is an ability not easily possessed by some, in this case it comes down to the understanding of the confusing world and moments around. Through abstractive, conceptual and subconscious representations, I attempt to catalyse the inner workings of this experience.'
