"Go where never before
No sooner there than there always
No matter where never before
No sooner there than there always"
- Samuel Beckett
Sam Lock’s considered and expressive, often large scale, abstract paintings embrace the principle that change is a process, not an event. A meditation on the continual flow and movement both around us and within us inspires each gesture. They are not made with a system or fixed process but through an energy that embraces both flux and chance, in a manner that is both organic and unscripted, following its own path until there is a balance between both presence and absence.
