Sam Dewey offers a dreamy escape into memory and introspection through representational landscape and portrait art that transcends the confines of reality. Dewey’s portraits depict people in attire and poses from other eras and evoke a nostalgic response while undermining both period and contemporary cultural norms. Dewey’s larger portraits often feature figures in elaborate period attire, often with unrecognizable faces, exploring the root and meaning of beauty and confining gender roles. By infusing the portraits with an atmospheric quality, Dewey delves into the inner worlds of her subjects, forging an emotional tie that goes beyond mere physical likeness.
