Lawrence Seward

Lawrence Seward (b. 1966, Honolulu, Hawaiʻi) lives and works in Kuliʻouʻou, Oʻahu. Working across drawing, painting, sculpture, video, and installation, Seward deploys tropical kitsch aesthetics to interrogate notions of “Paradise,” engaging with popular culture, mis/re/appropriation, tourism, environmental catastrophe, and the loss of the “real.” Represented by Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York for thirteen years, he has exhibited internationally at MoMA/PS1, the Aldrich Museum, and Gallery Edward Mitterand.
