Sebastien
Fitch is a recent graduate of the Ontario College of Art and
Design in Toronto, Canada. His works encompass a variety of media,
including painting, collage and sculpture in wood, metal and
plaster.
His wall-hung sculptures are
in what is known as a biomechanical style, which itself stems
from the surrealist movement of the early twentieth century.
Integrating mechanical elements with biological ones, these works
focus attention on the increasing frightening relationship the
western world has with technology, taking the supposedly desired
ideal of the "wired" individual and pushing it to an
extreme, yet strangely imaginable conclusion.
