Sellers’ work has also been included in two annual exhibitions of sculpture at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Since the year 2000, Sellers’ artistic activity has evolved into painting. “Early on, occasionally, I created paintings based on views of the sculptures—I called them ‘semi-diagrammatic elevations of sculpture’. However, since the turn of the century, painting has come to the <strong>for</strong>efront in my artistic ef<strong>for</strong>ts. <strong>The</strong> paintings have taken a direction no longer related to sculpture, though they maintain a loose relationship to simple geometry <strong>and</strong> three dimensionality.” | Fall 2012 5
