The inspiration for the Doric series was the architectural form that accompanied the birth of Democracy. Athens being the cradle of Democracy, and all that followed in the west, was what I wanted to pay homage to. I wanted to express order and humanism. It is very rare that an artist’s intentions are met so directly by location, so it is extraordinary that their world premier takes place in the city they refer to: Athens.”

The Doric series was created in 2008. It is Inspired by photographs that Sean took of columns of Greek temples as well as the concept of the columns as "a metaphor for man's support of civilization." Paintings from the Doric series appear to have a restricted palette of black, grey, beige and brown with strict geometric patterns of repetitive horizontal and vertical brushstrokes. The Doric series was first exhibited at the Benaki Museum in Athens in 2012.
