Seatton
Explore Seatton’s work at Sharing Is Caring, a group exhibition in partnership with University College London Hospitals Arts & Heritage from 22 November - 5 February. Find out more about the exhibition at The Street Gallery of UCLH.
Seatton has a highly distinct and expressive way of depicting the world - objects, space and figures are rendered in a singular and enigmatic way. A favourite technique is mono-printing, allowing for figures, objects and motifs to be superimposed into the composition. Imagery is sourced from fashion magazines, books, stock imagery, memory and imagination - often collaged together in surreal ways.
His output is prolific - working across multiple pieces at a time, he builds up compositions slowly in layers, clashing materials together to create rich textures. A favourite technique is mono-printing using discarded riso master sheets, allowing for figures, objects and motifs to be superimposed into the composition. Imagery is sourced from fashion magazines, books, stock imagery, memory and imagination - often collaged together in surreal ways.
Seatton is incredibly focused and driven by his desire to create.
Throughout his time at Artbox, Seatton’s independence and decisiveness has grown as he has started feeling more comfortable and inspired in the studio. He clearly communicates his artistic decisions as well as his enjoyment of the studio’s energy.
In 2023, he was commissioned by the musician CMAT to make the album artwork for her Mercury Prize nominated “Crazymad, for me”.
