    Discover the Art of Light, Shadow, and Form with Sean Thornhill

    Inspired by Bauhaus, Brutalism, Scandinavian design, and mid-century modern aesthetics, Cambridgeshire-based artist Sean Thornhill creates bold, architectural wall reliefs and prints.

    Working from his garden studio, Sean constructs layered, minimalist compositions that play with depth and dimension. As natural light shifts throughout the day, his pieces evolve—casting dynamic shadows and highlights that give them a sculptural, ever-changing presence.

    Alongside his reliefs, Sean’s minimalist prints offer a bold, graphic contrast. When shown together, they create a powerful dialogue between two and three dimensions—inviting viewers to explore how light, texture, and form can shape our perception.

    Whether you're a design lover or an art collector, Sean Thornhill’s work brings timeless style and quiet drama to any space.

    Sean Thornhill’s work has been exhibited, sold, and collected worldwide.
