Sam Chamberlain - New Work

About

Sam works primarily with painted and cut collages. Also with pastel, pencil drawings and acrylic and oil. He is generally most interested in the place where accidental abstractions in colour and form become structured and recognisable and vice-versa Sam Chamberlain describes mental as well as physical environments. His paintings and collages use material forms to encapsulate and frame the transcendent world that is the true subject of his vision, forming relationships between the places of the planet and the places of the mind. These are images that ask the viewer not only to look again, but to think again: about what is and what isn't, about what we choose to see and what we choose to ignore, about the nature of visual reality and the myriad unseen possibilities that exist alongside the consensual, agreed version of the everyday world
