Sean Dawson

Sean Dawson is an artist whose intense abstract paintings are internationally recognized for their expansive gestures, vibrant hues, and cosmic spaces. Rather than achieving abstraction in the traditional sense by simplifying figurative representation, which can alienate it from its original meaning, Dawson alienates familiar visual elements from the perceived world through distortion, fragmentation, and decontextualization. As a result, representative elements are no longer identifiable, but rather register at the edge of the viewer's awareness.

Dawson's works are held in collections around the world, including at the Frankfurt Kunsthalle in Germany, the Frederick R Weisman Foundation in Los Angeles, USA, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Munich, Germany, the Reinhard & Ute Onnasch Collection in Berlin, Germany, and The London Institute in London, UK.
