Sam Smyth

Sam Smyth (b. 1991) is a British contemporary artist known for his bold, large-scale colour field paintings that explore the outer limits of abstraction, form, and colour theory. Influenced by artists like Bridget Riley and Josef Albers, his work merges geometric precision with vibrant palettes to create rhythmic, immersive compositions. Grounded in a fascination with structure rooted in childhood experiences of paper engineering, Smyth pushes the material boundaries of paint through meticulous layering, optical effects, and sculptural elements, inviting viewers into a meditative, visceral encounter with colour and form.
