Sam moved to
Brighton to study Performance and Visual Art and began regularly
exhibiting his paintings in 2003. Since then his work has almost entirely been
focussed of Brighton street scenes, depicted on those days when the sun
is low in the sky and visibility therefore distorted.
Generally figurative, Sam’s paintings are a simple discussion about colour, light and form.
Featuring the human form in an urban landscape, they lead the viewer into uncertain places where it takes a while for ones eyes to find their truth; on a late afternoon journey around town, through smoky rooms at parties, past the abstracted shapes of buildings, between clusters of people on stairs and in streets where their distorted shadows combine.
“This is my Brighton and I love how it looks when its guard is down. I find my life to be a combination of the epic and the mundane which I hope these paintings have begun to represent.”
