"WE THE PEOPLE"
When you see them in person you will say UNBELIEVEABLE.
From his series
"Being Human" vs. "Human Being"
The paintings in this series all have a figurative aspect to them and each portrays an idea or emotion. At first glance you will think "portraiture" but after a long hard look you will think something completely different. What Sam is trying to convey to us is something far from just portraiture. Portraiture is really a description for reproducing an individual's image. This work is much more. What Sam is portraying through his brush is describing ideas and emotions with the subjects being the vehicles to illustrate those feelings. In short these works are less about the people in the paintings and more about the shared ideas and experiences that relate to all people. If you stare long enough you can almost look into the souls of his subjects.
Biography
Born in 1986 in Wicihta, KS, Sam is a self taught artist, growing up around art and starting out enjoying drawing. Throughout high school Sam took several art classes but was mainly focused in ceramics. It was in 2008 during a break from college Sam became more serious about art. He painted his first oil painting under the guidance of his father, a major influence in his art. Since then Sam has been painting and creating art, pushing and evolving his style and technique. The name "Spot Slim", which for a time was how Sam signed his work, originated as a name he used as a street performer. He still holds the name as a sort of brand for his other creative endevors. Sam currently creates and resides in San Antonio, TX.
