SEAN MC DONNELL
Sean Mc Donnell is a New Zealand artist who uses bright colours to create vivid oil paintings and prints depicting the natural environment of New Zealand. Sean often begins the creative journey by photographing a specific place and then using that image as a starting point to play with paint. These images include reflections on water, flowers, trees, clouds and waves.
Trying to capture the ephemeral beauty of nature is one of Sean’s goals. Working intuitively, using direct brush marks in response to the last, building up a number of layers with varied energetic strokes. The works shimmer with movement and vitality. It almost looks like the painting itself is moving, with brush strokes dancing across the surface.
