This painting is from a collection of photos taken while on a research grant with Lake Mac Council. Rocks sitting on top of rocks. Bush plants that could look like they live in the lake. This is a common theme throughout my works, abstract objects that merge from one particular looking shape within into another to all sit amongst each other in a pleasing manner.

On these hikes looking for inspiration I'm usually out there till the sun is starting to run out and its time to rush back home. Trying to make the most of my time out there, soaking up those last moments of golden light.

Sean (b.1987), a self-taught Australian abstract painter, has worked with Australian councils to create large-scale public art murals to help with community engagement.

These murals can be seen within Newcastle, the Hunter Region, Sydney, and other parts of Australia. Working with councils and business owners from small cafes to booming resorts throughout Australia.

Also, a contemporary artist painting private commissions on canvas, and also creating works for exhibitions.

Bell has been a Graphic Designer for over 15 years. This is where he gets his bold graphical shapes and minimal colour palette which are influential within his art practice. Sean has creatively juxtaposed organic forms with geometric abstraction in some pieces. While others have a mixed blend of abstract flora-based shapes sitting next to shapes that have more of a man-made feel to them, but give each other a well-balanced feeling to them, contrasting and complimenting each other at the same time.
