Fluid Life by Seth Scantlen at chashama

Using painting and drawing as media expressive of the fluidity of identity, representation and abstraction flow together in Seth’s work seamlessly intermingling in a state of constant flux. He explores both the terror and joy that come with identity’s meltdown through images that hover between hallucination and careful formal abstraction.Though engaging in a visualization of intense subjective breakdown, his work maintains its technical rigor—presenting a persistent tension between control and chaos.
