Collection: Fracturas Sagradas
A duo show featuring Sean Hannaway and Marco Prieto Sanchez
Sean Patrick Hannaway
Sean Hannaway is a Chicago born-and-based painter known for his punchy, densely layered style that blends high Renaissance portrait subjects and
graffiti aesthetics. The push and pull between his techniques, colors, and influences creates a dynamic tension in his work. A cheeky sense of humor pervades his practice, and is manifest in his use of plastic framed rococo-style mirrors from the 1960s as his canvases. He is debuting over a dozen brand new pieces created exclusively for this show.
Marco Prieto Sanchez
Making his American gallery DEBUT, Marco Prieto is a fine art graduate from Madrid’s Complutense University. Prieto uses painting to explore the issue of artists’ hegemonic identities, replacing the personal gesture of a brushstroke with the primitive, violent, crosscutting human gesture of a blow reminiscent of beating a drum. He seeks the powerful presence that underlies individualistic maelstroms, one which appeals essentially to the human condition. Prieto’s unconventional approach gives way to stunning layers of bold texture and dramatic colors that contrast with the seemingly dark subject matter in his work.
