Through Sean's
art we are privileged to glimpse
a bygone era, capturing a Britain
that has largely disappeared,
swept away in the name of progress,
his pictures recreate our bountiful
heritage. Interpreted
in Sean's talented and unique
style, whether a railway, transport,
countryside or military picture,
each depicts the everyday doings
of ordinary people; a moment
in time evoked and so atmospheric,
we can smell the smoke or feel
that cold wind blowing.
Sean
was born in 1948 in Rowlands
Castle, Hampshire, he studied
graphics, photography and film
making at Portsmouth College
of Art. A self taught artist,
he turned professional
in 1976, leaving his post as
signalman on the railway to
further his artistic career.
So well respected was
his work he was elected Chairman
of the Guild of Railway Artists
in the early '80's. His works,
mainly in watercolour, but
also in gouache and oil, hang
in the Science Museum, National
Railway Museum, Brigade of Guards
Museum and in the Sergeants'
Mess of the 1st. Battalion of
the Grenadier Guards, national
institutions, multi-national
organisations as well as many
private collections all over
the world.
His
pictures help us to remember
our social history, they
touch us with fond nostalgia,
their timeless charm and
realism is attributed to his
painstaking research and driving
desire for accuracy, capturing
that moment in time which the
camera missed. |
