Hello, I'm Samuel Perry.

Samuel's a self-taught abstract artist based in San Diego​,​ whose large-scale works investigate the conceptual and material dimensions of paradox. By working on unprimed canvas​,​ he leverages the inherent unpredictability of the medium to explore the tensions between structure and spontaneity​,​ control and disorder. His compositions integrate gestural dynamism with calculated restraint​,​ employing layered textures​,​ chromatic contrasts​,​ and fluid mark-making to construct complex visual dialogues that challenge conventional perception. His practice is deeply informed by both personal and environmental influences​,​ engaging with themes of transformation​,​ duality​,​ and liminality. The interplay between chaos and order​,​ motion and stasis​,​ presence and absence manifests through his manipulation of materiality and process-driven exploration. His forthcoming solo exhibition will present a collection of large-scale abstract works that interrogate these contradictions​,​ offering viewers a space to experience and interpret visual paradoxes. The artist’s engagement with natural forces​,​ particularly the unpredictable impact of environmental change​,​ has profoundly shaped his conceptual approach. This intersection of personal narrative and broader ecological concerns situates his practice within a discourse of adaptation and transformation. ​ His work has been acquired by luxury hotels and private collectors​,​ further cementing his presence in contemporary abstract art circles. These acquisitions reflect the resonance of his visual language​,​ as his paintings offer both meditative depth and dynamic energy​,​ making them sought-after pieces for both public and private spaces. Samuel lives in San Diego with his partner and dogs​,​ Morris and Bleu.
