Sean Hamilton Releases 'Tire with Chains' Print via Good Mother Gallery

As a lover of contemporary art that challenges the status quo and delves deep into socio-political issues, I find myself drawn to the captivating works of Sean Hamilton. Born and bred in the heartland, his experiences in rural Midwestern life have shaped him into an artist who masterfully weaves together seemingly disparate visual elements to create a powerful narrative.

The Good Mother Gallery in Los Angeles has collaborated with up-and-coming artist Sean Hamilton on a fresh, limited edition print titled “Tire with Chains“. Originally from Idaho and currently residing in Seattle, Hamilton’s work focuses on the intricacies of rural Midwestern life. By utilizing his background in advertising, he combines seemingly unrelated visual elements to create an urgent conversation around a diverse range of socio-political issues

Hamilton’s artistic creations often emphasize a subject against empty space, with a partition indicating contrasting perspectives – from high-speed racing drivers to the symbol of surrender represented by a white flag. In an earlier interview, Hamilton expressed that although it may seem strange, there is value in introducing these raw themes into modern art. Over the past few years, his work has shifted to explore the absurdity inherent in middle American life, both in how it perceives the world and how it is perceived by others. Dividing the canvas in certain ways accentuates this divide, yet in other ways, it generates a more compelling storyline

The title suggests that Hamilton’s new print showcases a sturdy off-road tire encircled by steel chains, suspended above a creamy background. This unique artwork is only available in an edition of 50 pieces. It measures 22 x 15.5 inches and includes a signature, number, and high-quality printing on Moab Entrada Natural 290gsm cotton rag paper for $100 USD
