Seth Michael Forman’s panels are a dreamlike stage where his cast of characters explore autobiographical themes. Drawing from his imagination and mingling fact with fiction, Forman creates protagonists who are caught frozen in time and memory. Using multiple layers of oil pigment and resinous glaze over sustained periods of time, he builds physical, temporal, and illusory depth where a personal mythology is played out. Forman’s images are not meant to be easy windows into his imaginary world. Instead he challenges viewers to question and participate in unfolding narratives, and create their own meaning.
