VOLTA :: MATERNAL STONE :: SAM NEWTON

May 16 - June 11

Tempus Projetcs presents MATERNAL STONE recent work by Sam Newton. The solo exhibition features a collection of small-scale paintings on panel that delve into the intricate themes of motherhood and adolescence. Newton intertwines personal imagery with broader cultural references, creating a rich tapestry that reflects the complexities of familial relationships. The artist often juxtaposes images from air shows—symbols of freedom and spectacle—with intimate moments that resonate with her own experiences, inviting viewers to ponder the dualities of growth and nurturing. By reinterpreting art historical pieces alongside her personal narrative, Newton invites a dialogue that bridges the past with contemporary motherhood, allowing for a nuanced exploration of identity and connection.

Sam Newton is a Tampa-based painter and sculptor who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the University of South Florida.
