Sean Delonas
By: Gallery, Continued from this issue, Lehigh Valley Style, Lehigh Valley Style October 2014, Art

Sean Delonas may be best known for his nearly 23 years as the gifted Page Six cartoonist for The New York Post. However, this creative powerhouse is also an award-winning painter and illustrator whose work has enhanced the pages of newspapers, magazines and children's books. He also created the clever art for The Jackie Mason Show and his Broadway playbill, Love Thy Neighbor?

Many of his pen and ink drawings are fiendishly complex and playful, reveling in dense imagery that remains engaging after many encounters. Delonas' paintings succeed whether he is exploring childhood fantasies, articulating a poignant portrait of his father or creating a magnificent altar painting for the Church of St. Agnes (143 E. 43rd Street, NYC).

Ludwig Wittgenstein's statement that a serious philosophical work can be written consisting entirely of jokes could very well be politically and socially realized in Delonas' catalog of cartoons and illustrations. He possesses the uncanny knack for distilling the muddled energies of current events into poignant relief through his imaginative creations. The economy of the work is admirable and his imaginative devices draw issues orbiting at a great distance into amusing perigees.

Currently he is busy reviewing his substantial catalog in order to pick 125 pieces of art for the permanent collection of the Library of Congress. He is also working on a book (with Skyhorse Publishing to be released Spring 2015) of cartoons that he drew over the past 25 years.

Although Delonas' creative sensibility is influenced by a wide variety of artist and movements, he shares, “My favorite periods would be the late Renaissance and Baroque. My biggest art influence would be my late father who spent his free time painting with me.”

Delonas studied art and music at Moravian College and earned his MFA at New York Academy of Art. During his time in Bethlehem he says he fell in love with the area. He returned in 2004 with his son, Ryan, and became a permanent resident.
