Sam PiastriBased in Melbourne, Sam Piastri explores the intersection of digital fragmentation and organic form. His work investigates how our perception of the natural world is mediated through the lens of high-frequency technology, resulting in a practice that feels both ancient and hyper-contemporary. Practice & PhilosophyPiastri’s multidisciplinary approach—spanning large-scale oil painting and generative 3D sculpture—challenges the viewer to find stillness within the "noise" of modern life. By layering translucent glazes over rigid, geometric structures, he creates a visual tension between the tactile and the virtual. Themes: Digital nostalgia, environmental flux, and the architecture of memory.Aesthetic: High-contrast palettes, fluid gradients, and structural linework. Recent Career Highlights2025: Solo Exhibition, Ghost in the Garden, Neon Parc (Melbourne).2024: Artist-in-Residence, The Berlin Institute of Contemporary Art.2023: Winner of the Emerging Visionary Prize for New Media."Piastri doesn't just paint landscapes; he maps the psychic space where our screens end and the earth begins." — The Art Review
