Sam Broad

Sam creates beautiful, joyous, literal and self-explanatory work.

Sam describes his work as pop misanthropic humanism blended with colonial tea party detritus.

Sam whittles, sketches, frames, hangs, tutors, talks, hacks, glues, mentors, sculpts, bitches, prints, collects, sells, rants, sobs, sits, stares, murals, illustrates and works in art 6 days a week. He loves patrons, barely tolerates commercial art directors, is wary of public gallery curators, can wrestle fellow drunk artists when he has had a few, but often ignores their shows due to jealousy and envy.

Sam balances his frame making business with a small amount of art creation and also many commercial design and illustration jobs the most public of which is some carpet designs for Wellington Airports southern pier, feel free to tread on them next time you visit. Sam has never asked for funding or won an important art award in New Zealand. He describes his work as Pop Misanthropic Humanism blended with Colonial Tea Party Detritus.

Kept simple in format, yet with many levels of texture and depth, this collection speaks of nature and of history. It speaks, as much as it can do by a relative visitor here, of integral and natural New Zealand.
