Ivan Seal’s paintings document a shadow world in which the familiar is made strange. Subjects sit in shallow, ambiguous spaces often solely demarcated by a gradual shift in colour or shade, or a simple horizon line. Painted quickly and from memory, these scenes depict a psychologically-inflected territory where meaning and references hover just beyond grasp.
