A Mooch approach
Mooch specialises in artwork from emerging and mid career artists. This means we search every nook and cranny to find the best artists and then give them the opportunity to display their work in our gallery and here below.
Mooch has captured more artists who show spectacular creativity, innovative thinking, and are rising stars in the art world.
Sean Caherty
Sean graduated with a Fine art degree in 2004 and has exhibited in the Curwen gallery London and the Lowry, Manchester amongst other galleries in Salford, St Helens and Stockport.
Seans work needs to be seen in the flesh. Entering into Sean"s world of paint is a bit of a step into the unknown. The work is more akin to wall sculpture and is not easily conveyed on this website.
The artwork is the result of Sean starting the process of filling, dripping, mixing, swirling and setting the paint in every different way imaginable. The work needs such patience and an understanding of the complex properties of paint Sean really is a master of his own niche. The results are incredible splashes of colour and texture that you just don"t find anywhere else.
"I experiment with the physical and material constituents and constraints of paint media in all forms. I consider my studio to be a laboratory in which I play with substrates, binders, extenders, siccatifs, pigments and dyes; extracted from commercial mass-produced paints. My research questions the impossibilities of contemporary technologies that supply and manufacture our material environment.
"I do not draw or illustrate; I interrogate the materiality and phenomenology of paint in order to explore and exploit its potential as a sculptural and physical medium for three dimensional and decorative design, which belongs to a Fine Art tradition. By effectively challenging the traditions of painting and the condition of paint, I propose, design and manipulate strategic encounters between paint substances, found forms and elemental forces that will find expression in sculptural legacy; a happenchance method of creating artistic form from paint science."
