Sean Lopez

Hometown: San Antonio, Texas
Sean Lopez is a multimedia artist and director of intermedia performances, videos, and installations. His artwork is influenced by dreams and the thin line that separates our subconscious from our waking life. Lopez draws on movie screens, designs studio stages, performs characters, utilizes computer software, records and edits endless video footage. Using poetry, and staged interactions with performers, the work challenges the relationship between the myth of self and the essence of being. His art practice centers around the development of intermedia installations and events, multimedia spectacles that can provide positive art experiences for a local audience.
