Sean Landers (born 1962) is an American artist. He is best known for using his personal experience as public subject matter[1][2] and for utilizing diverse styles and media in a performative manner,[2][3][4] and is especially known for his word art.[5] His work encompasses many media: painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, writing, video and audio, and he uses humor and confession, gravity and pathos in it,[4][6][7] blurring the lines between fact and fiction, reality and fantasy, sincerity and insincerity.[7][8]
Landers lives and works in New York City[9]
