ARTIST ALEX SETON WILL BE UTILISING THIS RESIDENCY TO COMPLETE INITIAL RESEARCH AND PLANNING FOR HIS SOLO EXHIBITION AT THE LOCK-UP IN 2022

ABOUT ALEX SETON

Alex Seton’s artistic practice incorporates sculpture, photography, video and installation to examine problematic ideas and concepts and give them form. Always carefully considered, Seton’s artworks playfully sit at the junction of an idea, forcing a choice in the viewer as a litmus test of their own disposition. Often with heart and humour, his beguiling surfaces reveal themselves to be not as simple or polite as they first appear. Whether contemplating notions of nationhood, legacy and privacy or the problematic relationship between individual and society, the personal and cultural always collide in his work in a complex relationship between form and substance.

Seton is represented by Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney and Singapore.
