Sam Falls

Sam Falls (responsible for Dazed & Confused’s latest cover) adopts any effective medium, regardless of its traditional context, often starting with a photograph and deleting by adding colour and forms into a pastel-like pastiche of art processes. He uses studio photography, Photoshop-paint and paint-paint but the work resists being defined under the assumed categorisations that go with any of these art tools. They are ridiculously involved works in one way and a simple, happy pleasure to look at – so perhaps it is traditional after all.
