Sam Creasey is a British artist specialising in painting. His practise researches the complex dialectic between the urban fabric's natural spaces and its more technologically networked spaces. The relationship between human emotion, architecture and the sociological considerations of urban planning influence the narratives portrayed. These narratives often consist of construction, gentrification, hyper capitalism, rapid change and a sense of alienation. Sam uses his employed life on the road in delivery logistics as an influence bank and as a psychogeographical adventure into the lives and localities of various microcosms of city life. Often observing in motion, notions of journey and transition inspire the works to take on temporal narratives that look for surviving idiosyncratic relics amongst an increasingly homogenised London. The uncannily representational paintings often appear jaded and jagged in texture like the steel, concrete and glass that give the metropolis its physical form. Sam completed an MA at the Royal College of Art in 2020, has exhibited internationally and has recently contributed to numerous publications specialising in urban sociology and art.
