Seth: On Walls collects the colorful visual universe of a globe-trotting street artist who
paints with purpose. For street artist Seth walls around the world have been canvases for
resilience a space where imagination and real-life encounters become murals of expression
dialogue and community. Children are often a part of his work taking him—and us—through city
streets on a poetic discovery of their universe like the rabbit hole into which Lewis
Carroll’s Alice plunges. Seth: On Walls is an insightful visual exploration of a decade of his
travels and the paintings he created in locations such as the working-class districts of Phnom
Penh Cambodia and the war-torn Donbas region of Ukraine. Drawing inspiration from local myths
legends and tales and often collaborating with other artists Seth works within the social
political and cultural contexts of the places he visits. Through an emphasized mixture of
murals and photography Seth captures the story of a multidimensional globe that is
simultaneously fascinating and under threat. Although his work consists mostly of paintings
the photography he shares not only immortalizes the ephemerality and memory of his work but
also conveys the spirit of the place and the relationship between the artwork and its
environment. Seth: On Walls is a delicate illustration of the beauty and shadows of the world
we live in.
