  • Artbay Gallery - Sam Foley, 'Rural Drift - A Storm is Coming'

Sam Foley is a contemporary New Zealand landscape painter. His often large, finely detailed paintings portray nature and urban landscapes, combining aspects of hyper-realism and photo-realism.

"To put it simply, this body of work picks up the thread from my 2019 show 'Graff'. That series drew inspiration from the urban environs of Dunedin, Berlin and other overseas cities, where I have dwelt. Over the years since, I began to notice how graffiti seemed to be leaking out of the city-centres of the South Island and into the surrounding countryside. Hence the title of this new collection 'Rural Drift'. The starting point had to be Christchurch, with the painting, 'Pilgrim's Place'.
