Sammi Mak’s paintings on display at Unveil Exhibition, Club Row, London\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A title of a painting can be descriptive, narrative, elusive or\u00a0personal to the artist. The title of 2022 graduate\u00a0Sammi Mak<\/a>‘s recent work \u2018Norwegian wood\u2019\u2013 which prompted a discussion of the most translated contemporary Japanese novelist, Haruki Murakami when it went on display this October \u2013\u00a0 is not about directly representing the content of his novel of that name.\u00a0The understanding of landscape at work in paintings by 2022 graduate\u00a0Sammi Mak<\/a>\u00a0is looser, more expansive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These spacious, aerial paintings set out to give states of feeling lost in translation, exhibiting, the artist states, a \u201csense of connection with the environment, inspired by a gesture of nature, and the syntax of human experience. It is an ecology of the senses.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The titles of these paintings are bridges through the air: not necessarily leading anywhere tangible, but providing some footing in the abstraction. The painterly is foregrounded, the brushwork \u2013 all that it evokes \u2013 lightly deployed. Sometimes blank spaces will be left, suggesting there is more to be seen, felt or done: active participation is invited. In others the artist will paint all the way to the border, creating immersion. Take the molecular magnificence of \u2018Mist\u2019 or the substance of \u2018Chaos\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
