Description
Painter Sam Cockrell (b. 1989, Colonial Williamsburg) joins the Selection Committee Radio Show with a sweet, Slowcore mixtape of songs he listens to in the studio.
His paintings, made exclusively using an airbrush, are soft-focused and tender, and surprisingly varied in subject matter, scale, and feeling. Cockrell discusses how he came to use the airbrush as his primary painting tool and the mechanics of his process. We also get into his unique archiving system, the relationship between his work and time, and the benefits of spending a part of one’s day in whatever kind of nature is available.
We talk practice, pixels, paint, and emotional hardcore music! Sam Cockrell’s exhibition All Creatures Great and Small is on view at Blade Study in New York from July 10 through August 10, 2025.
