Sébastien Cheramy is a French abstract painter whose work is inspired by weathered street surfaces - walls he perceives as spaces for contemplation and meditation. Finding symbolic meaning in scratches, damp spots, and cracks, he sees the passing of time as a language in itself. Working primarily in mixed media on large-format canvas, he builds his pictorial language through layered materiality, gestural marks, and calligraphic precision.

His work explores the contrast and balance between life and death - invariable constants in his practice. He works slowly, allowing layers of material to become a language that speaks through texture and restraint. Inspired by urban visual culture and the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, his canvases embody a sustained inquiry into impermanence and emotional tension.

Sébastien Cheramy has shown his work through collaborations with galleries in Europe, the United States and Asia, including Wall Vs Me (Los Angeles), Kollektion-Wiedmann (Berlin), Yudian Gallery (China) and Galerie Arnaud Bard (Paris).
