Samantha McEwen 'Posy Painting' 2021 acrylic on tarpaulin 172 cm x 222 cm - price on request
McEwen spent the early days of her career in New York during contemporary art’s move towards the urban, with pop and graffiti in ascendance. Although knowingness and pop-culture reverberate through her work, the obvious references are jettisoned – what is retained is the pop-art tradition of breaking the world down to shiny surfaces; an approach that she has sophisticated and maturated. Cecilia Lyttelton
Tarpaulin by Samantha McEwen and early works of Claes Oldenburg in the Robert Fraser tribute exhibition at the Pace Gallery, London 2015.
Amorphic shapes, shadows, silver clouds, incandescently pink flower heads and blooms, pared down to the simplest of forms in iridescent silver and opalescent colours speak of the transience of nature. Some of the images so fragile in their execution have floating calligraphic flourishes with fleeting banal Americanisms such as it’s been nice to talking to you and ‘be my guest’ or, in memorium to Angus Fairhurst, ‘I’ll be seeing you’ ; may be to ground them in some way, to remind us of the frailty of human nature. Cecilia Lyttelton

She makes history her own, as much matter of fact as tongue-in-cheek. With masterly ease she samples and appropriates. A late Matisse couples up with Monet lilies finding new life as Samantha’s giant white flowers on metallic theatre fabric. Ursula E Pohl

Portrait of Samantha McEwen by Alex Katz 1982
Portrait of Samantha McEwen byFrancesco Clemente 1984
In her uncanny semi-abstraction reductionist style, she “maximises the materials while minimising the subject “– matter becomes meaning. Glamé, mylar, red or white ... it’s the physical world McEwen draws attention to. Hers is the love of what we can touch, feel, admire, explore. Small scale duo-chromes can be mini fluorescent Rothkos or urban signage. You choose. Cheekily they might just be placed alongside a tinsel fringe.

Only for the last few years, the art world has been rediscovering and saluting the works of women artists who have been neglected for so long. Samantha's work, totally representative of the 1980s, is part of these rediscoveries to which we have the great pleasure of making our modest contribution through this exhibition and publication.
