About

Chinatown-based artist Kan Seidel (b. 1987, Omaha, NE) explores social and psychological narratives in both painting and sculpture, using warped, darkly humorous figuration. His subjects include family and childhood as well as queerness and gay culture, subverting his midwestern upbringing through the lens of the big city's indulgences and perversions. Themes of cultural critique and satire are present throughout his various bodies of work, oscillating between monstrous obscenity and colorful whimsy, lighthearted comedy and earnest explorations of grief. ​
