N. Sean Glover is a Boston-based sculptor and 2011 MFA graduate from Carnegie Mellon University.
Interested in the dialogue between old and new technologies, Glover’s sculptures blend the ancient tradition of fresco painting (method of painting on wet plaster) with the new-age construction of styrofoam. Although these components couldn’t be farther apart from one another (fresco painting = Michaelangelo’s go-to method for painting the Sistine Chapel; Styrofoam = McDonald’s coffee cups), Glover manages to mesh them together in a way that is completely fresh and surprisingly complimentary. The largest sculpture pictured, entitled Beyond the Sea, 2011 (images 1, 3, 4) also has sound that goes along with it – listen to it here.
