Sean Hopp
About
Sean Hopp (born 1970) is a surrealist painter. His paintings are featured in public collections in Chicago, Los Angeles, and London, as well as many private collections throughout the US, Europe, and Australia. Hopp's body of work spans over 250 finished oil paintings, as well as numerous prints, drawings, and murals."My paintings are fueled by strong feelings of both horror and fascination with the human condition. They are a series of vignettes played out in a backstage labyrinth; short character studies questioning the darker aspects of sanity and self.""I use a combination of oil, acrylic, tempera, charcoal, and ink, using modifications and misunderstandings of traditional oil layering techniques. I usually paint with my fingers and incorporate additional textures of cat hair, dirt, dust, and coffee grounds."
