HERE YOU WILL FIND PARADISE THROUGH HAWAII ARTIST CHRIS SEBO'S EYE'S. AT JUST THIRTEEN I WAS A TROUBLED YOUTH PAINTING GRAFFITI. BY SIXTEEN I BEGAN TO USE MY TALENT TO CREATE A MORE TRADITIONAL STYLE OF PAINTING EXPERIMENTING USING DIFFERENT ITEMS AS THE CANVASES AND USING MASSIVE ARRAYS OF COLORS ALONG WITH MY PERSISTENT DRIVE FOR A MORE REALISTIC ARTWORK AND A BETTER LIFE I FOUND MY LOVE FOR SHARING MY VISIONS AND PAINTINGS WITH ALL. USING ONLY SPRAY PAINTS STRAIGHT FROM THE CAN ITSELF, SOME SAY I HAVE TAKEN ART TO ANOTHER LEVEL MY BELIEF IS WE ARE ALL ARTIST TAKEN WHAT WE LOVE TO DO TO THE NEXT LEVEL. MANY SAY WHEN THEY SEE ME WORK THAT IT TAKES THEM TO ANOTHER DIMENSION OFTEN TIMES I HAVE TO AGREE. MY PAINTINGS ARE CREATED, USING BOTH HANDS AT THE SAME TIME, WITH DIFFERENT TEXTILE MATERIALS: SUCH AS CRUMBLED UP NEWSPAPERS, SAUCERS, TORN POSTER BOARDS, BOTTLE CAPS, BRUSHES PLASTIC WRAP AND WHATEVER ELSE I CAN FIND THAT GIVES A MORE PROFOUND EFFECT TO THE CANVAS. THE TREMENDOUS DETAIL I CREATE CAN BE COMPARED TO A TRADITIONAL PAINTER CREATING DISTINGUISH STROKES WITH A BRUSH ON A CANVAS ONLY HERE THE TECHNIQUES START OUT VERY DIFFERENT. I START QUICKLY WITH STROKES OF SPRAY PAINT ACROSS THE CANVAS, THEN ANOTHER HERE AND THERE BUILDING LAYERS OF PAINT, THEN USING THE TEXTILE MATERIALS, TO RUB, SCRAPE, AND BLEND THE LAYERS OF PAINT. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, LIKE A MAGICIAN WITH A FINAL ACT TO AWE YOU, A SPECTACULAR VISUAL APPEARS BEFORE YOUR EYES! WITHOUT ANY FORMAL ART TRAINING I AM CONSISTENTLY DEVELOPING NEW TECHNIQUES TO CREATE THE DESIRED EFFECTS WITH THE PAINT THAT MATCH MY IMAGINATION. YOU CAN VISIT MY IMAGINATION SIMPLY BY JUST TAKING A LOOK AT THE WIDE RANGE OF PAINTINGS I CREATE FROM REALISTIC, SURREAL, FANTASY LIKE DREAMSCAPES, LANDSCAPES, SEASCAPES, WILDLIFE EVEN THE OUTER SPACE, ALL WITH EXPRESSIONS OF TENDER EXPLOSIVENESS THEY ALL REFLECT A SENSE OF PEACE AND CALM. MY ART HAS TAKEN ME FROM THE STREETS OF HOUSTON, AUSTIN, AND SAN ANTONIO TEXAS, TO NEW MEXICO, ARIZONA, LAS VEGAS, CALIFORNIA, GUAM . MY HOME IS THE NORTH SHORE OF THE ISLAND OF OAHU, HAWAII WERE I DELICATELY JUGGLE MY TIME PAINTING AND ENJOYING THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS ME. IN 2021 I WON THE MADE IN HAWAII CONTEST BY PARK WEST GALLERIES MAY HAVE SEEN MY WORK ONLINE, IN NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES AND ON DIFFERENT TELEVISION SHOWS OR EVEN SEEN ME WHEN I DID MANY MANY STREET ART PERFORMANCES.
