Sometimes harmony in life can be found in the most absurd and irrelevant structures. It doesn’t always have to be colorful gradients or matching accessories. Just like life is not linear and static, compositions and collages don’t always visually pleasing in a classical sense. But they come with their own classes, challenges, and style. Just like being tidy aren’t everyone’s favorite feat, creating order within the chaos can be a skill itself. LA-based painter Sean Norvet creates beautiful, chaotic, messy paintings that challenge prejudices.

Sean Norvet usually creates his art with oil painting on canvases or panels. And his selection of elements can vary from cartoonish characters, wooden surfaces, berries, flowers to human parts, and abstract shapes. The sizes of selected objects change very differently but their weight in the compositions is quite equal. They all together tell one story and channel one common feeling rather than every object carrying its own purpose.

When you look closely at Sean Norvet’s works, you slowly start to realize every piece in his composition has a purpose. They look like a piece of a puzzle, and together they become one. On the other hand, the journey to the message can be experienced differently depending on which items and routes you pick first when you look at his paintings.

Sean Norvet describes the environment he created as “Pushing and pulling from drab reality until it achieves a psychedelic euphoria.”
