Ivan Seal

Ivan Seal (born 1973 in Stockport, Cheshire) is an English artist living and working in Berlin. Seal studied at Sheffield Hallam University.[1]

In May 2011, Seal had his first solo exhibition in London at the Carl Freedman Gallery of new paintings,[2] followed in September by a solo show in Zurich called the object hurts the space[3] of new paintings and a sound installation.[4]

He has worked with James Leyland Kirby (The Caretaker) on abstract art for his albums, with some of his art complementing the sounds of Stages 1-6 of Everywhere at the End of Time by The Caretaker.[5] The artwork of these albums represents images that correlate with dementia, as the artwork seems like it’s recognizable but, in reality, one cannot pinpoint what’s so recognizable about it.[6]
