Artwork Description

An ode to opening your mind and seeing beyond the ordinary. Finding familiarity within the piece but also a fun escape that leaves the viewer chasing their own interpretation of where "Open" leads their imagination too. In this piece I wanted to bring techniques learnt through painting murals to the smaller scale while integrating my brush practice to produce a visually striking piece that uses texture to creating feelings and spark the imagination.

Samuel McAleer 4 artworks | 0 Sold

Samuel McAleer AKA Smackas, is a multi disciplinary artist whose art journey has lead from the world of murals into the fine art world. Pulling elements of his mural practice into the smaller scale in his studio work. Pushing the limits of how small he can work with aerosol. Sam's style is heavily realism oriented with a surrealist touch. His work draws the viewer to a place of familiarity whilst taking them away from their place of viewing. Sam is inspired by the surrounding environments he crosses in his day to day and worldly travels , pulling emotions and feelings and re-creating these in a visual state.
