Sean has always been passionate about his art and in 1990 he saw the potential of painting on moulded rock as a canvas. In giving birth to his idea he took different colour stone aggregates and mixed it with resin compressing it into a mould taken from the living rock surfaces in nature, thus making it look and feel extremely realistic. One's first impression is that it is a real piece of rock which may appear heavy but after closer examination you soon realise that it is very light-weight and strong as it is backed by fibre glass. His mediums are oxides, oils and acrylics and in his painting style he draws his main inspiration from the ancient Rock Art of Southern Africa.
In addition to him painting in the traditional style of the ancient San peoples (more commonly known as the Bushmen) he presents a series of wildlife paintings and abstracts. Sean demonstrates his painting technique at his "Rock Art Gallery" in the blue shed craft market at the V & A Waterfront, Cape Town. His work offers a unique opportunity to own and enjoy a tribute to his astonishing culture, which modern man cannot afford to forget.
