From Wall Street to the Canvas: How One Iconoclast is Redefining Pop Art with Unstoppable Swagger
SWAGGER Magazine caught up with Sean Go to peel back the layers of this fascinating polymath.
SWAGGER Magazine: Sean, your background is seriously impressive—multiple master’s degrees, a career in finance, and studying at Parsons Paris. How does that kind of intense, often analytical background influence your artistic themes, especially your critiques of capitalism and consumerism?
Sean Go: Honestly, it’s pretty central to everything I do. When you’ve been deep in the financial world, you see how the gears really turn, how consumerism is built, and how it really gets into our heads. I’ve seen firsthand how money moves, how brands are built, and how narratives are constructed to get people to buy into things – literally and figuratively. So, when I’m painting, I’m not just slapping some bright colors on a canvas; I’m kind of deconstructing those mechanisms.
