‘I think it is a Magritte quote that states that the “human mind looks for spaces to fill”. In this way, ambiguity can act as an invitation to fill the gap, to author meanings, or steer the interpretation of a painting. The best work for me has hooks that hold your attention, slowly unfolding or revealing itself to you. The longer you look, the more you find in the surfaces of my paintings. It is the echoes and traces and absences that I hope keep the viewer in front of the work. My ideal is that after a while, you stop realizing you are looking at a painting and are just in thought or feeling.’ - Sam Lock This painting will be part of ‘Not the time of clocks’, a solo show of the artist’s new work, opening on the 11th of October. A catalogue, with an essay by @alice.zucca and a transcribed interview between her and Lock will be produced in conjunction with the exhibition. A short film will also be released prior to the exhibition opening. For catalogue and pricing enquiries please DM or email us and for press enquiries please email [email protected]
