Sam Octigan

Australian-born artist Sam Octigan’s practice both revels in the pleasure of exploring the qualities of paint and pursuing the mastery of the craft. His energetic canvases express a fascination with form, texture and composition, while thematically exploring notions of culture, media, communication and representation. Living and working in Melbourne (Naarm), Octigan is driven by wanting to connect with the world around him and to express himself through his work. Exhibiting in traditional and non-traditional spaces, Octigan is always trying to produce what he describes as “the timeless and ephemeral ah-ha moment of feeling connected, seen and understood.”
