Sam Derounian’s work is a formalist project for all its gestural qualities. As emotionally and psychologically loaded his work is, Derounian ultimately abstains from committing his works’ meaning to the trajectory which it initially seems to follow. This prolific abstinence from meaning is communicated largely through drawing, painting, and screen-printing processes. Derounian’s timeless narratives evoke feelings of unease and nostalgia, that are centered around the concept of mimesis or ‘re-remembering’, striving to be as whimsical as they are unsettling.
