I wanted to start a thread for Sam Wolfe Connelly- I've been a fan of his gorgeous work since I saw it at Spoke some time ago. Really excited to have Sam at Roq La Rue this month. Sam Wolfe Connelly's work is both luminously beautiful and poetically sinister. For this exhibition, Connelly's black and white drawings show a lush mastery of shading and tone to create stunning and enigmatic images reflecting a dark Americana similar to David Lynch and Charles Burns. His paintings glow in tints of orange and yellows as if lit by the light of burning houses. Both evoke a haunting suburban teenage wasteland reflecting dark doings as well as the beauty found in the feral aspects of the night. Connelly has exhibited at Gallery Nucleus, Spoke Art Gallery, Bluecanvas, Bold Hype Gallery, Gorker Gallery, The Red Gallery, and Beyond Eden Art Fair, and we are very excited to bring his fresh and gorgeous work to our audience. samwolfeconnelly.tumblr.com/Also, there are interviews with Sam (with more imagery) Here: supersonicelectronic.com/post/42281166526/sam-wolfe-connelly-interview and Here: thisissocontemporary.com/sam-wolfe-connelly-2/
