Sam Buckland

Sam Buckland is a Sydney-based Australian artist creating abstract geometric drawings and paintings in ink, paint and coloured gel on paper and board.

His work begins intuitively, without a predetermined image or composition. Shapes, figures and relationships emerge through the process of drawing, influenced by the Surrealist practice of automatism and the work of artists including André Masson.

The resulting works combine organic forms with strong geometry, symmetry and repetition. They often suggest figures, microscopic organisms, masks or imagined structures, while remaining open to the viewer’s own interpretation.

Honours degree in Philosophy, Majoring in aesthetics and philosophy of art.
