Moving away from the screen, Sebastian favours acrylic paint on canvas, not just for the tactility but also for the potential for working at a bigger scale. On a smaller scale, he uses coloured pencils and \u201cmessy cross hatch\u201d styled colouring, taking pleasure in the low pressure and minor stakes. Before, he would have a digital file in a folder somewhere on his disk, now he has something right in front of him.<\/p>\n
Most important are his studio\u2019s print works. \u201cWe bought a press a year ago and it\u2019s been really fun to figure it out at the studio. We are doing relief prints with wood now. Mixing the colors, cutting the paper by hand, stretching the paint and putting it on the wood plates,\u201d says Sebastian. \u201cEverything about this process drives me crazy and I love it. I don\u2019t know a lot about printing and I\u2019m eager to learn. Something about that is key to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, digital tools still play a \u201chuge part\u201d in Sebastian\u2019s work. It is, after all, how he\u2019s trained to work, but now it plays a larger role in documenting his work, showing the world everything that goes into these deceptively simple prints. Sebastian has always been a tools-oriented person \u2013 he learned how to model something in 3D before he \u201cknew anything about form or colour\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s why learning the \u201cwhy of things\u201d has changed everything for Sebastian.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll sides are part of me. I like humour and I also like to explore drawing seriously. I see myself very much as a fine artist. But I also don\u2019t take myself seriously, I\u2019ve done collaborations with all sorts of brands that put my work on billboards or T-shirts,\u201d says Sebastian. \u201cI\u2019m curious so I try new things. I come from a humble home and museums and arts weren\u2019t part of my upbringing. Finding art in commercial mainstream objects still feels like a way to connect with that kid that doesn\u2019t know yet he likes art.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moving away from the screen, Sebastian favours acrylic paint on canvas, not just for the tactility but also…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":524698,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,49,48,356,75],"class_list":["post-524697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
