Glacial Study

Sean Cotter

A career in the arts...was an unknown option for a young Sean Cotter, yet rapidly it turns from the unknown, to the unexpected and decades later into a career where a long-held passion is realised every day. A love of the natural inhabits and illuminates Sean’s work. One can feel the imposing weight, power, and grandeur of the glacial, the volcanic and explosive or subtle poer of Iceland’s treasures captured in and by Sean’s vision and talent. The swirl, the majestic, instinctual beauty of form shines out from his Memorate series. All his works, through the horizon spanning landscapes, the focused views, and the life he captures and displays for us in our little boxes demonstrate the romantic majesty the world outside of our doors and settlements´. Once this vision inspired a great art movement across genres, in many ways leading to first protections of the sublime natural world across nations, maybe it can again. Whatever does happen, take the time to gaze on Sean’s work, which is well established in his native Ireland and easily captures the ideal balance of abstraction to deliver the grandeur of the subject. Compelling.
