19 year old local Artist Sean Webster, held his debut solo show, Serotonin on Sunday 17th October which proved to be a huge hit.
The event took place on 34 Regent Street in a warehouse with over 350 attendees turning up to to view 150+ artworks and a short street art film premiere. Sean’s exhibition was described by guests as ‘just fascinating’, ‘a wow factor show’ and ‘pure happiness’.
Sean said about the evening:
‘It took me 24 hours to process that the show actually happened. I would like to say thank you to everybody who came to see my debut solo show on Sunday. What a night! Somebody said to me during the evening, ‘Mate, this room is just full of happiness’, and it really was. For me putting this show on has been my biggest project to date. Full of challenges and learning experiences in the lead up. Seeing the warehouse full of smiling faces with my proudest body of work on display was worth the work. I hope everyone enjoyed the evening.’
Sean said about his team:
‘I would like to once again thank my sponsors; CassART, Strawberry Field, Spectrum Independent Booker Gifts and Flowers, and Laurel Service Centre. I would also like to publicly thank Gemma Sparkes and Robert Sarginson and Mark Edwards, my amazing team of three who have been part of the whole process from filming and photography to helping transport the artwork to helping hanging the pieces. My work has always been focussed on bringing people together and everyone pulled together during the final few days to help. Also an extra shoutout to Pippos Bakery for making me a Blob cake, it was such a lovely thought!’
Sean said about the artwork and film and what’s next:
‘All currently available artwork of mine is now available on seanwebsterstudio.com. I will also be releasing my short film, ‘Art In Liverpool, next week, so look out on social media for updates on that. The work doesn’t stop here for me, I am full of adrenaline following my solo show and ready to work on the next project. I look forward to sharing what is coming next.’
