Serenity

Serenity is a joyful, energetic painting created with crackle paste and acrylic paint on canvas.

Samuel created this artwork for Supawan, a Thai restaurant in Kings Cross, London, that has exhibited his work for many years.

He took the brand’s colours and transformed them into this vibrant abstract painting.

Samuel brushed, sponged, and flicked acrylic paint over the cracked paste surface, creating many layers of texture.

Serenity was named by his friend Roxy, after asking for viewers’ input in the naming process. This was a theme carried through in lots of answers. While Samuel saw energy and chaos, others interpreted the painting as calming, which is the beauty of Samuel's work.

Serenity measures 90cm x 90cm and is fixed within a white oak frame measuring 93.5cm x 93.5cm x 3.5cm.
