Sean Landers

Sean Landers works primarily as a painter but he has also made sculptures, photographs, video’s and audio works. René Magritte’s Période vache, a series of paintings in which the surrealist artist made a caricature of his own style, had a big influence on Landers’ artistic practice and it made him question his relationship as an artist to his work. Lander’s work explores the question of what it is to be a contemporary artist and what it means to make something that will last beyond the lifetime of the artist. In this sense his career can be seen as a long lasting exploration of the same question, thereby turning his oeuvre into one dynamic whole.
