Sean Steadman

Sean Steadman’s paintings depict constructed and intermingling shapes that appear mechanical, organic, structural and chaotic. They are abstract in their objectivity, however, to the question of “what is this?”, they propose answers full of subjective impressions. The insides of a human body or a machine, elements of a staircase or a spaceship, pores or gateways; whatever those spaces may be, they vividly swirl from inside out and vice versa. Steadman's work is hypnotic in its maze-like absence of beginning and end. The lack of centre or foundation directly affects the sense of orientation of the artist's audience. Thus, the distorted identification of the colourful and flowing logic of Steadman’s paintings reorients the focus directly onto the viewer, seducing them to test the limits of human perception. ...

Sans titre is a gallery based in Paris. It initially operated as a project space and after three years of a nomadic existence (2016 – 2019) and numerous atypical spaces occupied (private apartments, industrial spaces, parking lots, a shipyard, a few hotel rooms, restaurants, etc.), Sans titre moved into a permanent address and embraced the gallery model. It is now located 13, rue Michel Le Comte, a few steps from the Centre Pompidou, in a former Restoration-era bar, whose facade is registered as a Historic Monument. Throughout, Sans titre works to promote international artists in the early stages of their careers. Alongside organizing exhibitions in a multidisciplinary approach, the gallery publishes fanzines, produces edition and creates events related to the represented artists. ...
