This abstract artwork features a striking composition of bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The predominant hues are deep blues, accented with pops of orange, pink, and metallic tones. The overall effect is a dynamic interplay of angular lines and forms that create a sense of depth and movement. The artist's technique appears to involve layering and collaging various materials, resulting in a textured, collage-like surface. This piece likely reflects the artist's exploration of the relationship between color, shape, and the inherent expressiveness of abstract visual language, though without further context, the specific intention behind the work remains open to interpretation. ...
Employing abstracted systems and model-logic to make sense of information, Sam Windett’s paintings construct their own language with their dark, contrasted hues and recurring shapes. Evoking sculptural assemblages, the artist translates the forms, lines and outlines of plants, gaffer tape, wood, ribbons and motorways into painterly versions. Mysterious in their totemic appearance, the works contextualise balance and interconnectedness, both visually and conceptually. Windett’s work is process-based, whereby the paintings are created through the continuous layering, as well as removal, of paint and paper. Collaged and dazzling, Windett’s paintings are temporal experimentations of personal and collective memory, representation and abstraction.
