Artist Profile: Samantha Carell
Overview
In Lost and Found, Samantha Carell masterfully explores the intersection of movement and stillness, capturing a moment of organic transformation. Through a delicate balance of structured color fields and intricate, cellular formations, the piece evokes the natural world’s ever-changing landscapes—coastlines eroding, water shifting, and emotions evolving.
The deep, textured blues form an undulating, web-like pattern reminiscent of microscopic life or coral formations, juxtaposed against an expanse of serene, uninterrupted green. This contrast between chaos and calm invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys of loss, adaptation, and renewal. The painting’s surface reveals a meticulous layering process, demonstrating Carell’s signature control over fluid mediums while allowing organic spontaneity to emerge.
With its meditative composition and tactile energy, Lost and Found is an invitation to embrace uncertainty and transformation as fundamental aspects of existence.
