Join us on Saturday 23rd September for Sam Haven’s debut solo show, ‘Distorted Reflections’. Sam has been Mint’s resident artist for the last 6 months with thanks to Level Up Studio Residency program and will be exhibiting works created during his stay.

An acclaimed musician, Sam is now exploring the medium of painting to articulate his inner world. Using oil on canvas, Sam explores the immersive and ever changing intersection between light and dark. His abstract works are his expression of his reflective search for meaning, the human condition and yearning for personal transcendence. He frequently traverses the subjects of frustration, despair and how the physical representations of these feelings manifest.

About Sam:

Half Iranian, his rich cultural roots provide opulence in inspiration, and a flood of multi-faceted subjects to draw from. Alongside his work within the fine arts, he also delves into a plethora of complimentary realms within the creative industries; sound, lighting, film, and directing.
