About the Item

There is rarely any forward planning, materials and choices are made randomly, colors and mediums are selected in accordance with the needs of what transpires at the moment. At times , when I run out of materials, I start creating alternative mediums, dilute pigments, add thinners or modeling paste and come up with new means depending on my state of being. It becomes a total alchemy. The outcome for the most part is greatly satisfying and unexpected. My mind keeps rushing, thus reassuring me that everything goes. Internal cravings change without previous warnings. Chance plays the most significant role. What appeals to me is the moment’s uniqueness and fleeting nature whereby everything else ceases to exist. The process of painting is a phenomenally mysterious practice. Following prescribed formulas, one is guided by a course of action, in my case however, the method is entirely experimental and resourceful and temporaneous

ABSTRACT Painting Black Color Contemporary Spanish Artist Beñat Olaberria 2023
By Beñat Olaberria

Colt Seager (b. 1993) is an American painter and sculptor based near Chicago, IL. Drawing inspiration from the inherent holiness and tranquility of the natural world, Seager’s work is deeply rooted in a process-based approach that reflects his reverence for the environment. The textures, layers, and expressive mark-making techniques he employs are a direct and visceral response to the landscapes of the Midwest. Through his art, he explores the dynamic interplay between process, form, and space, creating intuitive compositions that balance formal and organic elements seamlessly. Seager’s approach to art is both methodical and spontaneous, allowing his works to evolve naturally over time. He emphasizes the importance of construction and deconstruction in his creative process, believing that the true essence of his art comes to life through this duality. His works are an invitation to viewers to enter a contemplative space, where abstraction and form blend harmoniously. Seager states, "I see my work as it evolves naturally—it develops through construction but comes alive through its deconstruction. 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." Through this philosophy, Seager aims to create artworks that resonate on a deeper, almost spiritual level, encouraging viewers to find their own connections to the divine and the natural world. His pieces are not just visual experiences but meditative journeys that invite introspection and a deeper appreciation of the beauty that surrounds us. Originally from Spain, Beñat Olaberria...
