Opening night…
Thanks to everyone who could make it down to see VISITOR last Thursday. The response was overwhelming! And a big thanks to everyone who bought a postcard for the Japan Red Cross too, all your donations will go straight to the relief workers in earthquake and tsunami stricken areas.
*update.
VISITOR has finished, but you can check out photos from the opening at the No-Vacancy Gallery website. Cheers.
Visitor…update
No doubt, everyone has seen the news. It’s hard to describe the feeling of distress, loss and general helplessness in Japan at the moment. But to support those that can really help people effected by the earthquakes and tsunami, I’m hoping to get some donations together. There will be some art postcards available at the reception desk, and after the show a percentage of the profits from sales will be donated to the Red Cross in Japan, currently helping those caught up in the affected areas.
After several long months and many a long night, I am very happy to announce my first solo show, “Visitor” at No-Vacancy in Melbourne, Australia. Hope to see you there at the opening, Thursday the 17th. Cheers. Sean.

“3-9” in Takada and Myoko…
アートフェア「Thank you art in Takada and Myoko」が３月５日から開催されています。「毎年３月９日をアートの記念日にしよう」という国際的なアート運動で、このたび東條麗子先生よりお誘いを頂きました。上越市高田では本町４の「ギャラリー花地蔵」妙高市は新井駅より徒歩３分の「Studio ZERO」が会場となってます。Seanの作品はStudio ZEROの方に展示販売中です。地元で活躍されている作家さんの素敵な作品をたくさん目にする事ができます。私も先日搬入の為お邪魔いたしましたが、プロアマ問わず置かれている作品は本当に自由な発想と想像力に満ちていて、とてもエネルギーを頂けた空間でした。また深く心に響いた作品の裏側にあるストーリー。たくさんの方がアートを通じて（作り手さんの裏側にある思いの空間も含め）素敵な時間を過ごせますように。開催期間は３月１３日(日)まで。鉄子
Tenmyouya Hisashi…
Japantimes have a series of articles up about the annual art fairs being held in Tokyo, but what caught my attention was the striking work of Tenmyouya Hisashi. Check out his work and read about some of the themes he works with here, on his website.
Ota Fine Arts…
A satisfying fix of contemporary artists can be found at Ota Fine Arts, a short walk from Roppongi Station. There site has been updated this year, but I’m quite fond of there old one, so I’ve put a link straight to the meat in the sandwich. Enjoy. (image. Tomoko Kashiki)
3 minutes to midnight…
Its been an awfully long time time between posts. So to save us from the same old same old, here are a few pics from my latest work for the soon to be announced solo show in Melbourne. With a little luck there may be more information up by the end of the week, but in the meantime…
Happy New Year!
Hello everyone, just wanted to write a quick note to say thanks for a great 2010. Everybody who has given me support over the year, your words of encouragement have really helped me to focus, and urged me to keep on going at it. So a big thanks to you and a special thanks to my wife for putting up with the late nights in the studio. Come March 2011, the fruits of all this hard work will be on show in Melbourne, Australia. More details will be posted as they get finalised, but for the time being, keep an eye on this space. I’ll put some previews up over the following weeks so drop in if you get a chance! And of course, have a Happy New Year in 2011. All the best.
Sean.
