Samuel Jablon lives and works in New York

“Another Samuel — Beckett, that is — a big influence on the artist (and whom Jablon quotes in the painting Beckett) declared: ‘Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.’ Jablon embodies this philosophy in his own practice to a T. In his dexterous hands, language is transformed and leaves its indelible mark upon the void.”
