Sean Worrall
Sean Worrall is an artist, a painter, a paint addict, a maximalist, as well a (slightly reluctant yet rather busy) curator and arts writer. Currently based in East London where he co-runs Cultivate, a now nomadic gallery, previously defiantly housed in a space smack bang in the middle of the almost legendary Vyner Street as well as the longstanding Organ magazine that started when Sean was still a teenage art student) and website www.organthing.com
Sean regularly exhibits nationally, and internationally both in galleries, alternative spaces and on the streets (mostly with his long running #43Leaves pieces in terms of art on the street in more recent years). For this 2026 Play Free version of the live and online Art Car Boot Fair Sean is offering a selection of smaller original paintings and sometimes star-infested or leaf-flavoured pieces (starleaves?) that he has been playing freely with as well a couple of new prints released just for the on line version of the fair.
Sean is very insistent that art and the collecting of art should be something for everyone, this is something hopefully reflected in the way he chooses to exhibit his work, his prices and the pieces regularly hung on streets for people to just take.
Sean draws and paints every single day (quite often whilst on trains or buses). besides Cultivate and Organ magazine, Sean has presented a radio show on London arts radio station Resonance FM, he previously ran an alternative record label, put on hundreds of left-field gigs and music events - all very much fuelled by the punk rock DIY ethic he brings to his art practice. Sean was brought up on the isle of Anglesey, North Wales and has now lived and worked in Hackney, East London for well over half his life, his art probably reflects that East London base, one day he shall return to Anglesey, stop being so loud and just quietly paint the line where the sea meets the sky. For now Sean paints in all the noise and the layers of London - Sean is a curator and writer, mostly though Sean is a committed painter.
Since 2020, alongside other things, Sean has been working on a series of what was originally looking like it would be one thousand daily concluded paintings, a series called Ten, one painting brought to a conclusion every day for one thousand days. One thousand paintings always strictly on a 10cm square canvas and always very strictly offered at a price of £10 even though galleries keep demanding he puts the prices up. It was daily for the first 1000, there has been 170 more paintings beyond the thousand since, not quite religiously daily, there will be a new Ten painted and added on every day of the online version of the 2026 Art Car Boot Fair
