Lives and Works in Montgomery, Alabama USA 

   
 

The paintings of Durand Seay, artist and architect, are inspired by a fascination with structures found in nature and expressions of time. There is an association to symbols of balance, serenity, spirituality, and how we connect as a people. The work is surreal at times, exploring the subconscious mind through fantastic imagery. With his intuitive character, the art is guided by spontaneity, expresses a sensual and abstracted language. Space becomes form like an architect implanting an idiom of time through movement. Seay's thought is like a camera capturing that instant feeling of wind against your face.
He will always ask you, “How does the work make you feel, the emotion evoked?”
