Ivan Seal


Ivan Seal is an English artist living and working in Berlin. Seal studied at Sheffield Hallam University.
He is represented by Carl Freedman Gallery, London and Monica de Cardenas Gallery, Milan. In May 2011, Seal had his first solo exhibition in London at the Carl Freedman Gallery of new paintings, followed in September by a solo show in Zurich called the object hurts the space of new paintings and a sound installation.
He has worked with James Leyland Kirby on abstract art for his albums, with some of his art complementing the sounds of Stages 1-6 of Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker. The artwork of these albums represents images that correlate with Dementia, as the artwork seems like it’s recognizable but, in reality, one cannot pigeon-hole what’s so recognizable about it.
