SEAN O’CONNOR

Short interview and introducing american artist, Sean O’Connor’s artworks.

Please share a few words with us about your art.

My work portrays the contemporary world of sexual communications and modern day narcissism, referencing traditional decorative arts such as ancient Grecian vases and french printed tapestries. 

What is your relationship with the guys you draw?

I find inspiration from many sources – anywhere from vintage male pin ups from mid century American musclemagazines like Physique Pictorial, to work out periodicals like Men’s Health or Sport Illustrated, but mostly from instagram and social media. 

Which artists do you admire?

My favorite contemporaries are Richard Coleman, Monica Garza, Molly Bounds to name a few. I love any artist who pushes the visual narrative forward and who offer variety and complexity in their work.If an artist does the same visual or motif over and over, I think it can eventually become dull. 

Currently obsessed for…..?

Sleep 🙂

How your ideal men looks like?

I am happily in a relationship with my boyfriend of two years, but tall, dark, and beards usually do it for me. However, I can find many types of men attractive. 

Are you attracted by porn actors?

If yes, who?Ha yes! I have a crush on Boomer Banks, Antonio Biaggi….

What is your next to do today?
I have to work on a big commission painting that I have been working on for some time. Just one of many to dos!
