Sean Norvet
Los Angeles, CA

Sean Norvet is an Artist born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. His work is sometimes explosive, sometimes still, and often mashes up elegant photo-realism with two-dimensional cartoon buffoonery. As urgent and commanding as his images are, he playfully invites viewers in to share the laugh; he doesn’t preach.

Guest curator Mary Jane Ansell on the work of Stuart Wright

"

I was first introduced to Stuart’s work when he won the BP travel award in 1998 and used the award to take a camper van around the seedier coastal towns of the UK producing an extra-ordinary series of narrative works that he called tragi-comedies. Fittingly the National Portrait Gallery recently commissioned him to paint British film Director Mike Leigh with whom he shares an almost Hogarthian wit. He won the BP National Portrait Award in 2001 with his portrait of 6 Past Presidents of the Royal Academy.
