DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS

SHIPPING AND RETURNS


TRAPPED IN FANTASY is a visceral, Expressionist-Surrealist work that dissects the psychology of chosen suffering. The monumental head, resting on the block, presents itself as a martyr to apathy.

Seamus Kenna

About the Artist

Seamus Kenna

Ireland

Seamus Kenna is a self-taught artist from Dublin, Ireland, whose work explores the intersections of emotion, memory, and the human condition. His paintings often balance on the edge of surrealism and expressionism, drawing viewers into vivid dreamscapes where distorted figures, symbolic imagery, and bold colors tell layered stories.

With a raw and intuitive style, Seamus translates themes of inner conflict, social struggle, and fleeting joy onto canvas. His pieces reveal both the intensity and fragility of life—portraying fractured faces, strange thoughts, and ghostlike figures that challenge us to look inward.

Deeply rooted in a desire to capture truth beyond surface appearances, Seamus’ art invites dialogue about mental health, society, our lives and the passage of time. Each work is both personal and universal, offering glimpses into hidden struggles and shared human experiences.

Based in Dublin, Seamus continues to develop his practice, creating thought-provoking works that resonate with viewers on both emotional and psychological levels. His art asks us not just to see, but to feel.
