Fremont Art Association (FAA) will feature Sean Gil as the guest artist at its General Meeting and Art Demo on Wednesday, Aug. 6, in person at the FAA Gallery.
Gil is a prolific, self-taught, contemplative artist whose body of work is an amalgamation of street scenery; Mayan/Aztec and ancient Egyptian art; esoteric symbolism and abstract expressionism. He goes by Sean “Magic” Gil and refers to his fantastical style as, “Magicism.”
In his demo, “2D Assemblage Art,” Gil will showcase how he integrates and recontextualizes found objects into his dynamic and colorful paintings by selecting, arranging and sometimes altering them.
Gil’s has been a life marked with bursts of inspiration and creativity. By age three, he had already made his first art book and by nine, had illustrated and published a children’s book. While his obsession with drawing throughout his youth would often get him in trouble in school, it would serve as a springboard to his future artistic endeavors.
In his 20s, Gil was inspired by science, mysticism, ancient history, politics and the paranormal. To experience Gil’s artwork is to discover a universe with a multitude of stories and mysteries.
Gil is a member and exhibitor at Fuse, a San José based artist community at the Citadel Art Studios; Works / San José Group Gallery; Art on the Alameda Artist Group and The Machu Picchu Gallery of the Americas.
