Sean Mundy (born 1991, Montréal, Canada) creates conceptual imagery through photography and digital manipulation.
Working through self-doubt and questions of identity, Sean constructs scenes of palpable tension and uncertainty. With a subtle, minimal approach he aims to disrupt classical narrative formula to form scenarios that are reliant on subjective associations.
With his meticulously constructed and digitally manipulated images, he combines visual vocabulary from iconography, symbolism, and the surreal to probe at themes of division, isolation, and conflict in varied ways. Using human form as a stand in for emotion, psychology, and physicality, the specific subjects are rendered subservient to the conflicts arising in the works.
(b. 1991, CA)
