He has shown in Oregon at the Laura Russo Gallery as well as the Art Gym, Maryhurst College, the Corvallis Art Center, and Artquake 1994, Portland. As a promising emerging artist, Sean Cain has caught the eye of the public and has warranted reviews in Willamette Week, Artweek, the Oregonian, and Reflex. He works in a classical tradition rendering the figure in statuesque poses depicted in rather stark light that allows for a beautiful chiaroscuro. Using the paint thinly, layering like washes, he paints colors which enhance the atmospheric other-worldliness of his work. Cain combines surrealism, humor, and a high level of craftsmanship to attain a compelling and heroic narrative.

Description
A brighly colored landscape rendering with a large buck standing in the middle of a yellow meadow with undulating hills in the background., Peter S. Quaempts; Thornhollow Summer; oil on canvas; 26.25 X 20.25 inches; Employment Pendelton, Peter S. Quaempts was enrolled Yakama Tribe, but born, raised and died in the same family home in Gibbon, Oregon on the Umatilla Reservation. Son of William (Yakama) and Annie (Hall) Quaempts (Cayuse, Walla Walla, Umatilla), his Indian name was Tiichum Nashat, which translates as "earth thunder," or "like a loud noise [as] from lightening hitting the earth." In February of 1994, at the age of 56, Quaempts died at the family home located in the mountains. His artistry reflects his environment: the landscape in his drawing "Evening Winds" is similar to the landscape behind the house. "My father was very private; [he] did not show his works. He created something every single day of his life, whether with his hands [by] writing, drawing, painting or sculpting...[he was] a True Artist. His philosophy was art was very individual. He would ask you 'what does it mean to you?' He knew what it meant to him. He also said, 'Culture is the knowledge of the implication of symbols,' and would depict many symbols in his art work that a person wouldn't understand unless you were a part of that Indian culture or had some identity to that." He lectured and taught art for many years. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts, Seattle University with a Masters in Fine Arts, and taught at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande and Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton, Oregon. "He was the father of four children and the greatest artist in the world."
