Sam Cartman

Sam Cartman completed a Fine Art Degree in Carlisle, but spent most of his years as a painter in West Scotland and Glasgow. He recently returned to his native Shropshire. His paintings are a response to being in the landscape: they are shaped by the experience of being in a certain place at a certain time and the memory of this.

Talking about Sam Cartman’s paintings Jan Patience (The Glasgow Herald) says: ‘There is a poetic sparseness to Cartman’s paintings of wide open spaces, in the skies or the sculpted buildings which look as if they have been there for all time. His paintings are like memories: fixed and definite in our mind’s eye but not perfect and all the better for the instinctive use of paint and the tools he applies it with’.
