'When I look at unpeopled landscapes, empty rooms, or imagined spaces I am thinking about what has been left out, these omissions are often at the centre of why I make work‘
- Sam Wood
Gloucester Room is delighted to present a series of new works in oil paint and soft pastel on paper by artist and illustrator Sam Wood.
Since graduating from St Martins in 2012, Wood has established himself amongst a new generation of young British artists who are moving away from the recent dominance of abstract painting in contemporary art toward a new form of allegorical figuration.
Central to Wood’s practice is the importance of drawing- both in dry and wet media- where broad brushstrokes of diluted oil paint underpin lyrical linework in soft pastel The immediacy of Wood’s mark making demonstrates a highly responsive eye that captures any given subject with an economy of means Rendered in joyful, saturated colours the resultant works radiate effects of light that ripple across the paper, creating a sense of restless energy as lively as the natural subjects they depict.
Since 2018 Sam Wood has presented solo exhibitions with David Collins Studio and Shreeji News, with a forthcoming show at TM Gallery, Kings Cross in January 2023 Since 2018, he has worked collaboratively with luxury brands including Harrods, Liberty, Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, Atelier 27 – Paris, and Ennismore He regularly undertakes large scale commissions for both corporate and residential projects and has work represented in private collections internationally.
