Colt Seager
USA (1993)Colt Seager (b. 1993) is an American painter and sculptor based just outside of Chicago, Illinois. Deeply inspired by the inherent sacredness of the natural world, Seager approaches art-making as a contemplative and process-oriented practice. His work draws from the textures, colors, and emotive rhythms of the Midwestern landscape, offering a visual response that feels both grounded and transcendent.
Working at the intersection of abstraction and intuition, Seager explores how form, color, and spatial relationships can evoke a sense of place and presence. His compositions often emerge from spontaneous gestures and the layering of material—be it paint, raw pigment, or sculptural elements like wood and stone. This layering process mirrors the complexity of the natural world, while also creating depth, movement, and tension within the work.
Seager's art carries a quiet intensity. Whether through bold brushstrokes or subtle tonal shifts, his pieces reflect an intimate engagement with his environment. The interplay between organic textures and formal structures speaks to a balance between chaos and control, instinct and intention. His sculptures and paintings often evoke a meditative quality, inviting viewers to slow down and experience the work on both a visual and emotional level.
In uniting painting and sculpture, Seager cultivates a visual language that is at once tactile, atmospheric, and introspective. His work offers not only a reflection of the natural world but also a pathway to reconnect with the spiritual and sensory dimensions of our surroundings.
