Joie De Vivre

Joie De Vivre is a bold, textured and colourful abstract painting.

Acrylic paints, gels, pumice paste, cracking clay paste, and pouring paints are combined on a 162cm x 100cm stretched cotton canvas to create this joyful artwork.

Joie De Vivre is sponsored by the Thai Restaurant Supawan, based in Caledonian Road in London, where it is currently on display.

The brief was to create a colourful, camp painting that would inspire joy in the restaurant's customers. Samuel believes he accomplished the brief with this painting.
