Sean Hemeon, Eruption (self-portrait), 2025
Details
Painting
Dimensions: 16" x 18" FRAMED
"A self-portrait in spare black lines, the body breaking beneath a streak of furious red paint. It marks the fury and release of a sexual awakening — raw, eruptive, and impossible to hold back — as the artist emerges from the weight of a repressive religion. The ornate 19th-century gilded frame holds the work like a relic, its old-world restraint clashing with the immediacy of the image. That tension becomes the story: a self once confined, now erupting past every boundary."

CULTUREEDIT ART AUCTION #4
sean hemeon
Sean Hemeon is an actor, writer, and abstract expressionist painter whose work explores memory, spirituality, and transformation through raw mark-making and layered color. His paintings often emerge from lived experience — queerness, addiction and recovery, and the long shadow of a repressive religious upbringing — translating those histories into charged visual language. In 2025, his work was featured in a group exhibition in Berlin, where his series on eruption and release resonated with international audiences. Hemeon’s practice continues to blur the line between the deeply personal and the universal, creating work that feels at once intimate, volatile, and searching. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
