About The Artwork
“For the Ears of ADHDers and Autistics” is a classic example of Sesto’s work that explores the theme of neurodiversity. This hyper-detailed work, centred around the focal point of the portrait’s ear began with the singular intention to visualise the sensitive hearing experienced by many with ADHD and most on the Autism spectrum. Individuals who experience these conditions are unable to filter sounds, and experience all sounds with greater loudness; to the point of being able to hear small background noises that may be imperceptible to others. This is a daily frustration of the artist, who has ADHD, when trying to navigate public life. The butterflies fluttering around the ear materialise this idea through the hyperbole that human hearing could be so sensitive, that the beating of the butterflies’ wings would be heard. The idea was then expanded to note various aspects individuals with ADHD and Autism have in common. Both groups have a different perception of time as represented by the clock in the sky which sits in the position of the sun. Both groups also process emotions differently to neurotypical individuals, as shown by the emoji stickers on the brick wall which jumble about in a parody of Henri Matisse’s artwork “The Snail”.

Australia
b. 1995 There is an imaginative endlessness to the art of Eric Sesto, who is based in Melbourne, Australia. By employing heavy use of symbolism, an unconventional use of colour, and a subversion of scale; Sesto challenges what it is to exist and what it means to see. The artist typically explores interactions between human psychology and the geographical world, with a particular emphasis on neurodiveristy, mental health, and nostalgia. The growing separation between the human mind and the natural world in the digital age, is an endless source of inspiration to the artist. The artist aims to capture the chaos and complexity of the internal realm and the human-built environment, as a point of contrast to the natural environment which is beautiful in its indifference. The stillness and intensity with which the artist illustrates this polarity serves as a reminder to viewer to disconnect from daily illusion and reground oneself in reality. The artist channels his interests in human anatomy, geography, psychology, art history, and technology; in order to discuss such themes. Sesto is inspired by surrealism, naturalism, expressionism, naivism, post-impressionism, and precisionism; but prefers to operate without the restrictions of genre. The depiction of the sky and landscape in his paintings is a homage to his childhood growing up in rural Australia.
