Haven Pen & Ink, 2018
Artist Statement: We flee from the ordinary; yet from the ordinary we come. We seek comfort in the brilliant lights without, but no refuge will we find there. Instead, we must shine from within, and face the electric truth: that the true haven is the private, pervasive sanctuary of our ordinary existence, the burdens of which we can share with each other, and the wisdom of which we can gift to ourselves
About the Artist: Sean Casey’s work explores the relationship between mundane and spiritual aspiration. He synthesizes archetypal symbolism to render complexity from familiar themes: the messages within to be interpreted with as much diversity of thought as those who look upon them will allow. Throughout his journey as an artist, Sean has maintained a fascination with the perpetual dance of existence and contemplation. His hope is that these captured moments, these temporal, wordless thoughts, will serve as silent texts in the vast school of art and life.
