Sam Gimbel

B1962 NYC
“I’ve been working for many years on creating my own visual language in form and color to allow me to tell stories. My goal is not so different from ancient and indigenous artists. The visual representations stem from my personal, social, and political beliefs. I consider myself a visual memoirist, retelling in shapes and in lines that are not typical or straight, what I have heard and seen.”



Studied at Otis Parsons 1980-84 with dual majors in fine art and photography. Under Lita Albuquerque, Betye Sarr and Emerson Wolfer.
