Sam Mathers, Coffee in the Morning, Giclee Print. Limited Edition: 40

Sam is a hoarder of images, objects, consumer brands, everyday objects and creatures that inhabit his world. All these come together in a kind of symbiosis of connectedness. What draws us in is that we share much, or part of, his world. A kind of familiarity is felt. His influences come from the graphic nature of much of the commercial world together with the organic goodness of the rural scenes through which he travels to beaches where he surfs. His paintings are mostly two-dimensional in their laying out, but with closer inspecttion, many layers reveal themselves... building up of paint, scratching back, drawing, swathes of wet paint and intricate details, combine to pleasing effect.

Artists that have influenced him are Picasso, Cy Twombly, Warhol, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning.
