Sean Tully is an artist and surfer who lives and works in the Los Angeles area. At the age of 28, besides being an artist, Sean surfs professionally and has been featured in publications such as Surfer, Surfer’s Path, and Surfer’s Journal. His travels have included Europe, Central America, South America and Australia. Industry support and working relationships with noted surf photographers have allowed Sean to maintain a consistent presence within the surf community.

Sean is a CalArts alumnus with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. His practice emphasizes an exchange between painting, photography, and object making. His work is subculture-driven contemporary art, engaging influence from street art, pop art, and neo-expressionism. The work connotes a range of shared aesthetic that embraces aspects of distortion, energy, and tapestry to convey feelings of human experience from a youthful viewpoint.

His more recent artistic endeavors, drawing from both surf and art interests, involve the development of a large-scale installation and object-based exhibition that explores concepts of territorialism within surf culture and relates them to larger social conditions outside of surfing.
