The exhibition will feature a series of recent works that are at once idiosyncratic and deeply engaged with the tradition of abstract painting. These works reflect Samelson's interests in emerging form, causation, physics, beauty, love, spirituality, the universe, god(s), cultural isolation, and related issues.

A myriad of sources inform the artist's imagery and process: daily routine, natural and urban forms, pattern, art history, disaster movies/literature, religion, relationships, etc. His process is tempered by an abiding respect of failure. "As a rule I paint until I feel satisfied," Samelson notes. "Then I paint over- partially or completely essentially erasing the initial work. Then I continue to paint until I am satisfied that I am not completely satisfied."
