South Korean born, Portland based artist Samantha Wall is an “Immigrant Korean-Black-American” who creates art to express herself and find wholeness. “I am all of those things and none of those things, and I’m more than those things.” I discovered her work, that quote, and the video above, because of the mural she did for FBAiR {Facebook Artists-In-Residence Program, Redmond WA campus.} There is soooo much about her magical work that pulls me in… the washy ink, insane amounts of gold leaf, and don’t even get me started on those haunting eyes. ps. those eyes are drawn with graphite, not cut ‘n pasted photographs. What? True story.
Wow amazing work!
I love her work so much! It’s been a bit since I’ve last seen her stuff and love how it’s evolved. Here’s a link to a feature that was done on her on “Oregon Art Beat” – https://www.pbs.org/video/oregon-art-beat-artist-samantha-wall/ To watch her work is amazeballs!
oh great! thank you for the link!
Great post! We had an exhibition of Samantha’s new work in August, and produced an interview that perhaps you and your readers would enjoy: https://youtu.be/1dUlCvMmjGs
