STUDIES & SKETCHES 2026
The images shown here are a small collection of recent studies or sketches, all acrylic on paper. Some are rendered on loose archival watercolor block paper while others are from my personal sketchbook. These are meant to inform my next series of larger works, currently in progress.
An exciting aspect of these small works shows the development of a visual language, and record of a process that is every bit as important to my unique voice as the subjects themselves.
Lately I have been inspired by abstracted, dove-like birds, loose floral shapes, expressive simplified landscapes in neutral colors, and almost purely abstract figurative pieces. Taken together, they present a visual world that invite the viewer to enter and find personal meaning in the forms, textures and energetic rhythms of the ‘poetry of paint’ – while promising an exiting series of finished work to come.
PAINTINGS
Sean Christian Dampier has been an artist and painter for many years; his work has shown in galleries and private collections. Below is a gallery of paintings rendered in acrylics and oil - his style is bold, expressive and contemporary – with a layered, textured approach that informs much of his digital illustration work.
