Each month, Art Show Factory shines a spotlight on one Australian artist, aiming to enrich connections between artists, audiences, and our creative community.

This August, Meet…

Location: Meanjin

Materials: Acrylic, oil pastel, pencil and ink

Dev Samol (Devid Samol), born in 2002 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, currently lives and works in Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia.

Samol’s drawing and painting practice blends memories and symbolism from their upbringing in Cambodia with current experiences and surroundings, blurring past and present. Figurative compositions drawn from life are inter-spliced with autobiographical narrative features, bringing traumatic and complex experiences and relationships to the surface.

Samol uses a signature blue in their palette, employing an expressive, improvisational approach to mark making.

Dev’s Upcoming Solo Exhibit:

Free Entry

Opening Night: 5-9pm 28th August

Regular gallery entry: 11-4pm, 29th and 30th

Location: House Conspiracy, West End

Keep up with Dev!
