About Sam Creasey

I live and work in Brighton an operate out of a little studio in Hove. My art practice operates using different visual constructions and ideas to address quite a general study around internet culture. As a millennial living in a world growing every deeper into the automatic, technological and robotic way of living, my work uses painting to make sense of the online world as a network that I have grown up with and witnessed develop. . I am interested in ideas proposed by writing on the relationship between digital technologies and art. Sci-fci fiction and dystopian visions of writers like Phillip K Dick and William Gibson provide a semi credible but fantasy account of the future in a high-tech/ low life society and their cyberpunk character constructs can be mirrored the reality of today’s human beings. I use the internet to collect digital detritus and recombine them into paintings using collage to help compositionally. As such, this employs a visual rhetoric of, advertising, graphic design, stock imagery, screensavers, produced a sickly sweet kitsch look at times. The visual texture of the paintings stress towards an unnatural, and synthetically colored aesthetic. Recently, I have begun a new project using the cold curved shapes of IPhone and Apple hardware in paintings, using them as the descriptive framework and aesthetic structure of the images.
