Exhibition Statement

The beauty of organic florals is undeniable. Universal truths like this connect us all and remind us that we are each a part of one ultimate whole.

But how do parameters set by our cultures, environments, communities, and governments shape who we become and how we live our lives? Are our boundaries genuine, or were they set in place by someone else with different motives than our own?

"one taste" by Evan Samuelson aims to cut through the preconceived and often subconscious stories that shape our psyche and reality in order to illuminate the common truths that exist within us all. These paintings seek connection in an attempt to bring more presence, love, and beauty to the forefront.
