Durand Seay: A brief work description
The paintings of Durand Seay, artist and architect, are inspired by his intrinsic connection to structures found in nature and expressions of time. The work is surreal at times, exploring the subconscious mind through fantastic imagery. Symbols of balance, serenity, and how we connect as a people emerge as the focus. With his intuitive character, guided by spontaneity, he expresses a sensual and abstractive language. Space becomes form like an architect implanting an idiom of time through movement. Seay’s thought is like a camera, capturing that instant feeling of the wind against ones face.
Graduating from Auburn University in Architecture, he also attended University of Georgia to extend his skills in art and his understanding of painting. His work has been exhibited in numerous juried exhibitions all over the southeast since 1978, and recently in 2012 “B-12” Wiregrass Museum Biennial, Dothan, Alabama and in 2009 “Imaginary Journeys”, Trevisan Arte Internationale invitational exhibition, Ferarra, Italy.
