Shawn Shawn

From witnessing the Fall of the Berlin Wall inside the Iron Curtain to seeing the National Strike in Spain or the launch of the Euro in Brussels, history and politics dominant my themes. My art process is two-fold. Occasionally, the whole image springs forth like Athena from the head of Zeus while in others the image develops through the painting process itself. I strive to always develop my talent, master new styles and move to new direction similar to Picasso's development. A title must be meaningfully and the art must never repeat itself. I mastered my initial style under the tutelage of Tom Thomas in the Indiana cornfields.
