Sean Kratzert (b. 1991) is a self-taught artist and multi-instrumentalist that currently makes work on the CT shoreline. He is informed by his passion for art history and contemporary art, as well as his experience working with materials as a carpenter and house painter. This has led to Sean’s deliberate use and misuse of materials in the studio through painting, collage and sculpture. By mixing paints that don’t mix and allowing organic works to form, he can lend to the idea of an object growing (or decaying) in time and space.
Sean maintains a working studio in Chester, CT where he is able to fulfill his projects on a larger scale. This studio was once used by Sol Lewitt and is still owned by his foundation. If you would like to discuss any works or arrange a studio visit, please e-mail seankratzert@gmail.com
