About artist

The main motif in Sam's work is the removal of 'artificial cultural frameworks'. The artist uses a variety of resources, rational analysis, hyperbole and emotional interventions to achieve this aim. He concretises this theme in paintings, texts and his concept entitled Vision of a New Culture and its Place, on which he has been working since 1989. As well as his artistic activities he heads the gallery Sam83, and curates and publishes (exhibition catalogues, limited editions, the magazine PIŽMO) and organises residential courses.
