Biography ( )

Share

Sean Landers works primarily as a painter, but he has also made sculptures, photographs, videos 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. Landers’ 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.
