Out of Body Painting

Seth LeDonne creates work that highlights the novelty and profoundness of everyday life. Their recent bodies of work examine masculinity, reliance on technology, humankind’s relationship with the natural world, apocalyptic poetry, and mental wellness. Central to LeDonne’s work is providing the viewer with a point of relatability through warmth or humor. Their work advocates for the usefulness of reflection and self-expression as self-care tools. Seth is inspired by the urgency of water-based mediums, and the inclusion of unconventional and commonplace materials create a link between the artwork and everyday life. Defying the rules and expectations for materials liberates LeDonne’s process from creative rigidity. Disdain for perfectionism is a thematic and aesthetic element of their work.
