Dominic Samsworth is a graduate of the prestigious Glasgow School of Art and has spent part of his career in Berlin and New York. The artist expounds upon this body of work:
“They are shaped canvases based on plan views of swimming pools, painted with pool paint. Here, the status of painting and pool combined, executed with exacting lines, observing a blurring between art world sincerity and leisure time venality. They are aerially viewed as if just before touchdown in your next tourist destination.”
Serious and playful this work typifies Samsworth’s gently provocative and thoughtful output; lying somewhere between painting, sculpture and installation. and heralds sunnier days ahead.
