Rare Earth Rising is a large-scale abstract landscape painting created using plaster, cracking paste, sand paste, acrylic paint, and gold leaf on canvas, finished with a semi-gloss varnish. Rich in texture and saturated colour, the work combines sculptural surfaces with luminous metallic detail to create an imagined terrain that feels both atmospheric and otherworldly.
Created specifically for Supawan, the vibrant Thai restaurant in London that exhibits Samuel’s work, the painting was designed to reflect the energy, warmth, and bold visual identity of the space. Samuel incorporated the restaurant’s signature colour palette into the composition, layering vivid turquoise, fluorescent coral, and deep violet tones into sweeping horizontal bands that resemble abstract mountain ranges or shifting geological formations. Gold leaf detailing traces the peaks between each layer, catching the light and adding a sense of movement and elevation across the surface.
The heavily textured turquoise sky contrasts against the glowing lower sections of the painting, creating depth while amplifying the intensity of the saturated colours beneath. Samuel intentionally embraced fluorescent and highly pigmented paints to mirror the bustling atmosphere of the restaurant itself — lively, immersive, and full of energy. The thick applications of plaster and sand paste give the work a tactile, almost volcanic quality, reinforcing the feeling of a landscape emerging from beneath the surface.
The title Rare Earth Rising was given by Supawan owner Wichet, perfectly capturing the painting’s sense of transformation, richness, and elemental power.
Rare Earth Rising measures 122 cm × 91.5 cm × 4 cm.
