About
Studio visit and interview with Christie’s
Sam Spratt creates from rupture. The pursuit of redemption through solidity–to chart a path forward from past missteps.
His current body of work, a series of digital paintings: Luci (pronounced. Loo - See) follows the infinite story of pilgrimage and serves as a refracted self-portrait of the artist–each piece: a confession, a conversation, and a joke at our own expense. Through the process of palingenesis, this episodic body of work serves as guides and warnings for the atomized individual exiting dissociation and attempting to connect, grow, and thrive in an escalating network.
Sam lives in the United States of America and works out of his studio in New York City.
His artwork has found homes in games, films, music, books, comics, magazines, theater, and most creative industries.
