You know the drill:

In anticipation of Sean Hamilton's debut duo exhibition with Ariel Parrow at Glass Rice gallery this Saturday, we’re bringing back the artist’s Good Things Come in Threes!

About the artist
Sean is one of those few artists who can compellingly address a broad range of issues, from the social and cultural through to the economic, without losing his audience. Through an honest and unapologetic approach to his practice, he creates striking multi-narrative works that spotlight the issues of today by engaging with imagery from the past. His paintings often aim to create a forced set of priorities and questions using intentional pairing/placing, drawing from his career in advertising to evoke ad-world visual immediacy.
Mirror, a duo exhibition of collaborative and individual paintings, will be on view at Glass Rice from November 4 - 25, 2023.
