Sean Hamilton

Sean Hamilton’s paintings are unmistakably American.

Hamilton’s work forces questions on the viewer through paired images that explore themes like western expansion, engineering marvel, political hubris and power, fast cars, the suburban dream, and uniquely american notions of masculinity and femininity. While much of his imagery is derived from times gone by, the themes throughout are contemporary and topical. The result is a sensibility that is both nostalgic and totally relevant.

Check out more of Hamilton’s work in his group show HEELED, A WESTERN BALLAD, online here and in person at H Gallery in Ventura, CA. This is an artist to watch!
