Father and Son, Fishing Painting

Samuel Honey is a London-based figurative artist from West Yorkshire, working in an integrative, mixed media style that draws heavily upon the absurd and the uncanny to create his own brand of irreverent surrealism. As an artist with strong literary and philosophical influences, Samuel creates work that explores questions posed in the fields of semiotics, pragmatics and metaphysics. His use of space, partiality and confused objects, seeks to express the layered, often paradoxical and competing dialogues in narrative creation. Samuel’s work aims to evoke in equal portions the theatricality of Beckett and discourses of artistic giants such as Cezanne, Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Jenny Saville.
