Nolwenn SAMSON

French　1979

Nolwenn Samson was born in 1979, France, growing up in a family fulling with the dance and photography art. As a totally self-taught artist, Samson had a brief passage through Marseille Art School where she improved her sense of portrait graphics and illustration. Most of her works are presented by acrylic paint, china ink and Marker pen on canvas. These colorful paintings always combine a sense of foolish humor. Influenced by the cinema director as Tarantino and Kitano, Samson is also good at using quotidian scenes with naive slogan description to remind the audience facing the difficulty optimistically. She takes the bright color fond to display figures’ facial expression and their poses, easily remind us the connection with Basquiat, Keith Haring, or even Robert Combas in France who form their style between Liber figuration and Urban street art. Samson said: “I take the time to liber myself, for inventing more technique than before.”
