TECHNIQUE

Seliger’s practice encompasses painted bronze, a variety of metals, painted canvas constructions, works on paper, and large-scale outdoor metal commissions. His sculptures range in scale from handheld objects to monumental installations. Drawing from the traditions of Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Trompe L’Oeil, he transforms everyday commercial packaging—such as haute couture shopping bags, milk cartons, juice boxes, and Chinese takeout containers—into meticulously crafted artworks. Inspired by ephemera and contemporary visual culture, Seliger finds poetry in the intersection of the desirable, the disposable, and the familiar.
