Overview

Peter Sampson attended IAIA in 1965. His paintings from that time focus on linear and geometric shapes. Sampson painted Untiled in impasto technique, applying thick layers of paint to create a rich texture. While Untiled is rendered in warm earth tones, other works are painted in vibrant reds, blues, and blacks and are often inspired by tribal designs.
