Seth Dembar is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work has garnered attention in exhibitions across New York and Miami. He combines various mediums and techniques from diverse artistic disciplines to explore the dynamic interplay between representation and abstraction. In his artworks, the foreground and background merge seamlessly, showcasing a powerful synergy of form, color, line, and texture. In the studio, Seth begins by constructing “assemblages” using found objects, alongside painting, drawing, and sculpting with wire and clay. He captures these sculptures and painted compositions with a high-resolution digital camera, resulting in images that are exceptionally rich in color saturation. His painting process is driven by intention. At times, he approaches each piece with a clear vision, allowing for a “natural” method of applying paint, texture, and color. Other times, he embraces uncertainty, viewing it as a challenge to solve—transforming moments of doubt into opportunities for creative breakthroughs. The act of adding paint to the images is a fluid extension of his artistic expression, reinforcing his deep-seated love of painting. The interplay of disciplines distinctly influences the final product—photography captures the nuances of light, while paint delivers definitive lines and vibrant layers of color. Elements such as chance, freedom, discovery, and purposeful manipulation of the camera, lighting, brushes, paint, and other materials are all essential to his artistic process, culminating in the work.
