Description
About the artist
Bright colors, rotten smiles, and mischievous titles in bold block letters jump off the canvas, but it’s the hidden details and intensely personal small-print journals that sink their hooks in.
Sam North’s chaotic, disciplined neo-expressionist narratives are not the product of a traditional arts education. A graduate of Georgetown Law, he began painting as part of an inpatient treatment plan. The result is work that’s unrestrained, deliberate, and vital — for both artist and audience.
“This is my punk rock,” he says of his art. The paintings are his songs, played with electric colors, sharp contrasts, and meticulous linework. The diaristic entries scattered around each canvas are his lyrics.
Over layers of heavy-body acrylics and mediums, applied to deep museum-grade canvas by brush, palette knife, and hand, North articulates each piece with pigment ink before finishing with a high-gloss archival sealant.
Beneath its snark, North’s nationally exhibited work reflects an earnest thesis: “The world can be cold and mean, but not cold or mean enough to stop me.”
Product details
“Christian Love (The Grace of a Mountain Goat)” is an 8½x11-inch pigment and alcohol ink drawing, created by artist Sam North in October 2024 in Sarasota, FL. The full text reads, “Apparently Proverbs 5:19 says: ‘Like a loving doe and a graceful mountain goat, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.’ So… Christianity is fucking weird, you guys. Then again, I sure could go for a nice girl with THE GRACE OF A MOUNTAIN GOAT and, like, really cool tits. Anyone know how I’d go about getting baptized?” The story of the drawing is featured in my blog entry for October 22nd, 2024.
There are only 50 limited-edition prints of this drawing. They measure 6×8-inches. Each is individually signed and hand-numbered by the artist. All prints are packaged with a backing board, inside of a sealed plastic archival sleeve and include a one-sheet with the artist’s statement (the story behind the drawing).
