Sean Flood (b.1982, MA) received his BFA in Fine Arts from The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University in 2005. Since then, Flood has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and has received multiple grants, awards, residencies, and commissions. His work is in numerous public and corporate collections, as well as many private collections internationally. Flood currently splits his time between his New York City and Boston studios. He continues to work fluidly between painting, printmaking, and drawing, paying particular attention to how the atmosphere, texture, and mark-making come together throughout the different media. Flood’s work primarily focuses on a rapidly changing urban environment. He strives to demonstrate the continuous energy and constant interactions he observes in the city through mark-making.
