Sébastien Chéramy is a talented French painter who has dedicated his life to the arts. Born in 1979, he showed an early interest in drawing and painting, and his passion for art only grew as he got older. After graduating from the stained-glass trades, Chéramy pursued a PhD in Art History at the university level, which ultimately led him to focus on painting.
“If I had to identify any constants in my work, I would analyse it this way, walking in the streets we often find things … the walls are emergences, we can find symbolic elements. Why I have a suggestion with these images, I have never reasoned, I am intuitive,” says Sébastien Cheramy.
Chéramy’s abstract style is both thought-provoking and captivating, and his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world. He has gained the respect and admiration of collectors and fellow artists alike, and his paintings are highly sought after by those who appreciate the power of abstract expressionism. Chéramy’s approach to art is deeply personal and intuitive. He draws inspiration from the walls he sees around him, finding meaning and beauty in the scratches, damp spots, and cracks that others might overlook. For Chéramy, these imperfections are symbolic of the passage of time and the constant presence of life and death. He creates his paintings slowly, building up layers of material until they take on a life of their own, and he allows the work to evolve and take shape organically.
In addition to his solo work, Chéramy has collaborated with several galleries and organizations. In 2022, he collaborated with the Los Angeles gallery WALL VS ME, the Berlin gallery KOLLEKTION-WIEDMANN, and the French gallery SAUVAGE.ART, and the Chinese gallery YUDIAN GALLERY. In addition to his work with LEVEL 57 in Atlanta, ARTLAB in Italy, GALERIE ARNAUD BARD in Paris, and GALERIE GABEL in Biot, France, he has a number of other partnerships set to debut in 2023 as well.
Sébastien’s art reflects his individuality and his ability to see the extraordinary in everyday life. “I don’t know if I can do it, but I would like my work to lead the viewer to reflect, to meditate in front of an abstraction that is not one, my work takes the viewer towards the “real”, at least the one I perceive,” says Sébastien
