Lives and works in Chicago, IL
Colt Seager is an American painter and sculptor located near Chicago, IL. Inspired by the inherent holiness of the natural world, his work is rooted in a process-based approach. The textures, layers and expressive mark making are a direct response to the landscape of the Midwest. He focuses on process, form and space yielding an intuitive composition through the interplay of formal and organic elements.
“My goal is to offer an invitation into the thin place through abstraction, contemplation, exploration of form, and the rhythm of making marks—allowing one mark to carry into another—and in-so-doing, allow for a holy space where the Divine transcends closer to earth.”
