Los Angeles-based culture website, L.A. I’m Yours, recently featured a profile on one of our 2005 Rogue Wave Artists, Sean Higgins. Here’s an excerpt:

Sean Higgins has an alien focus. He is know for his photographic barren and warped landscapes, masses highlighted by negative space. He often casts his subjects under a permanent haze or gives them a twinkle by adding in textural dimensions. He creates modern landscapes that appear to be relics from a post-human society: they appear to be documentations of a planet whose beauty has outlived its inhabitants.

Creating uninhabited natural scenes is what Sean has become known for and very obviously is tied to a place. “It’s this stark California landscape,” he explains as he takes a seat in the living room of his Glassell Park home. “You can drive two hours from the city and be in a landscape devoid of people. None of my work has humans in it. In all of my pieces you are supposed to put yourself into them instead of seeing things in them. Especially the landscapes: there is never any trace of life. There are no houses or people or animals.”

We look forward to launching our very first international Rogue Wave Project with Australian artist, Grant Stevens, opening this January 2013. Keep posted on our blog for more details!
