Samantha Cheevers - ‘Roaming Rabbit’

30cm x 35cm

Mixed media on board

Samantha is an artist based in Port Glasgow. Her work is predominantly mixed media based, using multiple materials from watercolour pigments, acrylic, spray paint, printing and engraving paintings.

Samantha finds that places are very important within her paintings. She explores multiple locations; many are derelict architectures, vestiges of lost futures that did not turn out as intended. I collect photography and documentation in the buildings, which become key elements in creating a narrative for her work. 

The interior and exterior tends to be over exaggerated whether it be nature taking over the structures or filled with objects, furnishings and even animals related to previous locations, suspending the viewer in ambiguity, not quite knowing which images are related or exist in a realm of their own. I use various materials and techniques in my work ranging from watercolour pigments to engraving, creating depth and layers that mirror the aesthetic of the interiors.
