Artist Interview with early career Tasmanian artist Sam Field, discussing the exhibition The Back Of My Own Head.
22 March – 26 April 2024
Despard Gallery is pleased to present the latest video in our Artist Interview Series featuring early career Tasmanian artist Sam Field. Enter a world of conspiracy theories, ultra-capitalism, religious symbology and climate change, as Field discusses the many influences that underpin his practice. Field describes how each painting as part of his new series The Back Of My Own Head, has become a melting pot of socio-political refection, where the seemingly impossible has become commonplace in the fabric of contemporary society. Field also reflects on the fallibility of the human race and how art and humour has become a way to scrutinise sensitive topics and challenge how our thinking is shaped through binaries.
