Artworks by Chris Sedgwick

Bio:

Born in Florida in 1981, Chris Sedgwick began painting at a young age and shortly after graduating from Florida State University in 2003, he began a full time career in art in Asheville, NC.  He gathers inspiration from a wide variety of esoteric spiritual resources from European Paganism, Rosicrucianism, Christian Mysticism and comparative mythology to Chaos Magick.  His work approaches the intersection of art and spirituality without the contemporary overuse of irony, seeking to add to it with sincerity.  His work is in numerous private collections worldwide and is housed in the permanent collections of Florida State University,Western Carolina University, Purdue University, etc. Sedgwick currently lives and works from his home in Colorado, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the region.

Statement:

The inter-penetrating layers of symbolism, mysticism, and narrative in my work constitute a timeless world of ancient rituals and divinatory rites.  In synthesizing techniques of the old masters and ancient mystical teachings, my work focuses on the uniqueness and universality of inner landscapes and transcendent experience.
