This event has ended.

The Kravets/Wehby Gallery presents Cardboard Lamb, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Justin Samson.

In Cardboard Lamb Justin Samson presents a series of large paintings. Drawing from the psychological charge of the face, Samson depicts ancient Greco-Roman sculpted heads. These heads are broken, worn away, and severed. They are depictions of faces lacking in descriptive features such as skin tone, eye color and movement. Samson captures the cold white of the sculpted marble heads against the vibrancy of his electric backgrounds. A sexy blank stare from a severed head is emotionless floating in beautiful landscape. Juxtaposed to this is a collection of abstract paintings, which continue to reflect the art object’s spiritual presence; somewhere in between a prop and a character to our own reality. A realization of a fantasy.

Justin Samson currently lives and works in Philadelphia.
