Sebastiaan Bremer - To Joy
Artist's Talk and Book Signing

Join Sebastiaan Bremer at the Lower East Side Printshop
for the release of his new book “To Joy”

Wednesday November 18th, 6pm - 8pm

Sebastiaan Bremer – To Joy is a detailed exploration of the influences, source material and groundbreaking technique of the US-based Dutch artist.

The book is an illustrated guide – part-intelligentsia, part-phantasmagoria, part-secret journal – through the labyrinthine imagination of this contemporary artist. Sebastiaan Bremer’s work has a connection to photography, utilising a unique style of drawing directly onto photographs that he has honed over the years. The artworks explode with energy as his obsessively painted white dots rise over his photographic canvases like clouds of smoke. Bremer creates his subjects from a swirling ring of psychedelic/art historical/personal anecdotal ecstasy. Sex, death, family, art, history, love and lust come in and out of focus as the imagery morphs into layers of alchemy and meaning.
