ROB SAMPLE : REMOVAL
January 2nd, 2010
This thursday sees the grand opening of Mr Robert Samples solo show at the Signal gallery in londinium, Me looky forward muchoo much to seeing this exhibition, it going to be funky…. dont miss it.
The current theme has been greatly inspired by working in house clearance and those whom i worked with. It seemed we were employed to remove all physical trace of that person’s material life. A majority of homes cleared were of elderly persons, whom on passing; their family removed all they wished, and sometimes abandoning personal items massed over a life time. These objects, photos, letters, clothes, books and records contain a left over imprint of this person whilst alive and dwelling in that home, but soon these items were distributed, destroyed or disposed of. Belongings accumulate over our lives that hold such significant meaning, but then ultimately becomes worthless rubbish on our death.
This collection of new paintings work as a cartoon, with several connecting narratives running through them. This work also pulls reference to paintings of the 16-17th century.

GHOST VILLAGE PROJECT
December 24th, 2009
Check out this short film, a gaggle of graff artists travelled to a scottish village that has been abandoned by all humanity and splatter the whole place with paint
I really don’t have a bloody clue how I get anything done in my mofo studio place, it’s such a plop hole, I suppose it kinda resembles the state of my mind, a complete wacky mess.
At this precise moment in time though, I’m in my art dump working on the city scape theme.
The urban landscapes are an integral aspect of the subject matter I’m exploring. whilst I have been painting the people that live in my area, I’ve not really had the chance to document the big bastard concrete Behemoths that populate the city,
These housing estates are deemed to be synonymous with urban decay, breeding grounds for the hordes of little human squabs that plague our streets, “hello Daily Mail”.
I try though, to see these places as another aspect of the city that is under appreciated, what many of us fail to understand is that these estates, as messed up as some are, house a million stories. Although the buildings seem lifeless, behind each door some real shit is going on, people striving to live their lives, with the kind of story lines that don’t get slotted into any episodes of Eastenders.
But thats the wonderful thing about these places, it’s the rawness, it’s real life, it’s all about the shit, the wonder, the struggle, the victories, All the energy and beauty of the city contained in these ‘urban troublespots’,
So I’m going to concentrate on that concept for a little bit…….although I’m not sure if it’s safe to be setting up my easel in the middle of Maiden lane estate, lots of curtains twitching and shitty little kids throwing things at me can throw a man out of his creative stride….
