Michanczyk Bio
Sean Michanczyk is a 2008 graduate of the
Hartford Art School (BFA illustration ). His passion for art began to develop
with his first memories as a child, and was always supported by his family and
close friends. His work has evolved into a harmony of emotions and merging
styles, paying homage to old masters and contemporary idols while keeping a
trompe l'oeil edge. His areas of tightly rendered paintings and keen sense of
balance create harmonious story telling through symbolism and self reflection.
"What it is, isn't always what it is".
Life,
Death, and the unknown of whats after all of this is what drives him as an
artist. The relationships along the way that have left a lasting impression had
always been with people who can offer the other way of looking at the glass
half full. Seeing the beauty in death, finding new life for an object that has
already had it's time to shine....the hope in the end to realize what you
thought may be gone forever, is really just waiting for next time...this is his
search as an artist.
Sean was the creator and founder of Paris in
Plantsville Gallery & Studio in Plantsville,CT from January 2010 to January
2016 curating over 50 exhibitions and another 50+ events. He has juried and
curated numerous shows throughout Connecticut at many different spaces.
He and his wife Jacqueline, Great Dane and dachshund reside in
Southington, CT at his now private studio. Sean is not only working in the fine
art industry but also currently head designer for his family Hearth and
Fireplace company, where he assists clients, manufacturers and architects
across the country with concept designs and product design and development.

Michanczyk Artist Statement
As an
artist, I paint as my therapy, for myself only. Yet, my work
subconsciously follows patterns of exploring the relationship between emotional
memories and the relationships that have been built and lost throughout my
years thus far.
With influences as diverse as Caravaggio, Gustav
Klimt, John Haberle, Ajay Brainard and Salvador Dali new combinations are
created from both traditional and modern structures.
My whole
life I've been fascinated by the essential unreality of relationships. What
starts out as triumph soon becomes manipulated into a manifesto of futility,
leaving only a sense of dread and the possibility of a new reality, while still
having a sense of hope and positive feelings for my future.
As
wavering phenomena become transformed through diligent and critical practice,
the viewer is left with a glimpse of the limits of our future.
