Sam Art
Born and raised in the Medway Towns of southeast England, Sam Art is a self-taught artist whose journey embodies resilience, creativity, and transformation. Leaving the education system with little direction, Sam spent his early adulthood working minimum-wage jobs while immersing himself in creative pursuits such as writing music and performing with bands across London and the South East. It was during these years that Sam discovered street art—a medium that combined his love for public expression and creativity. Influenced by Medway icon Billy Childish and the elusive Banksy, Sam began to teach himself the craft, developing his unique voice and style.
At 26, Sam secured a role as an assistant artist with Marvellous Murals, where he gained hands-on experience painting public-facing walls, schools, and private spaces. The role refined his technique and gave him the confidence to pursue large-scale projects independently. By the age of 30, Sam had mastered large scale photorealistic painting, a skill he showcased in his iconic 8ft x 20ft mural of Billy Childish on Rochester High Street, a tribute to one of his earliest inspirations.
In 2017, Sam achieved national acclaim with his mural of Jeremy Corbyn on the North 19 Wall in London, unveiled by Corbyn himself during a celebratory event. This piece, alongside other political murals he created during this period, highlighted Sam’s ability to merge technical excellence with contemporary themes. However, as time went on, Sam began to feel the weight of political division reflected in his work. Disillusioned by the divisive nature of political art, he chose to step away from such projects, focusing instead on creating art that celebrated beauty, unity, and shared experiences. This shift allowed Sam to explore a more uplifting and inclusive approach to his craft, re-centering his work on the power of art to connect people.
Sam strongly believes that street art and art in general impacts everyone on a subconscious level, even those who might not consider themselves fans of the medium. Just as billboard advertisements influence behaviour
and decisions without conscious awareness, Sam sees street art as a force that counters this by embedding beauty and unity into the public realm. To him, every piece of street art subconsciously enriches its viewers, offering a moment of connection and positivity that resonates far beyond the surface.
Sam’s career continued to flourish, most notably through his collaboration with the Museum of London for their Beasts of London exhibition. His murals were transformed into dynamic animated projections, narrated by cultural icons such as Brian Blessed and Kate Moss, showcasing his versatility and ability to adapt his work to new mediums.
In 2023, Sam participated in the Cheltenham Paint Festival, creating a stunning piece on plywood boards that captivated audiences. The work was so well-received that it was later stolen, much to the dismay of Cheltenham locals who had grown fond of it. Despite this unexpected twist, the piece solidified Sam’s reputation as an artist whose work resonates deeply with communities.
The following summer, in 2024, Sam returned to Cheltenham as a headlining artist, creating a monumental 17ft x 30ft mural that became one of the highlights of the festival. The mural further established Sam as a respected and influential street artist, celebrated for his technical brilliance and creative vision.
Sam Art’s work is a celebration of beauty and connection, grounded in the belief that art has the power to uplift and unite. With roots in the Medway Towns and a body of work that spans the country, Sam is dedicated to creating art that transforms spaces, inspires communities, and fosters a sense of harmony in an often divided world.
