Sean Joyce
Collection
Sean Joyce was born in 1956, is a neoclassical
figurative Realist painter, sculptor. His technique draws inspirations
from the Mannerists to the Surrealists, from the Renaissance and
Dutch masters to the Romantics and the American Realists. He is
completely self-taught; having no formal art schooling. His artistic
gifts were evident in his first sculpture work done at the age
of three. He began oil painting at seven, making adroit Cubist
and Impressionist studies. He soon discovered the style and quality
he felt the deepest affinity with in the Italian Renaissance masters.
He won art awards in all the schools he attended; setting his
own art curriculum from the sixth grade until his high school
graduation; when he decided rather than college, that he would
further his education by applying his diverse talents in the film
industry; where he worked for the next ten years in various capacities.
From a key animator at Bakshi Productions to storyboard artist,
illustrator for Columbia Pictures and other major studios and
finally, for five years, as a matte painter/designer at George
Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. After winning the 1986 eighth
annual James Wilbur Johnston Sculpture competition, held in Washington,
at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Mr. Joyce left his film career
and briefly went on to teach figure and portrait sculpture, painting
and drawing at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. And
for three consecutive years; beginning in 1989, he was invited
as guest Teacher for Cal State University Summer Arts Festival,
at Humbolt State University, in the areas of Life drawing and
portrait and figure sculpture and painting. For the past ten years
he has worked almost exclusively on his fine art. His work can
be found in the collections of Gerard Depardeau, Noah Wyle, Nick
Cassavetes, Charles Sheen, Luke Perry and Jason Priestly.
