As artists debate the ethics and controversy of artificial Intelligence creating art. I'm philosophising about what being an 'artist' means now Ai can create art . Here I argue that early Ai systems act like real artists but they won't for long. Soon Ai will become another tool used by artists. As the algorithms gets better, it will become more proficiently and less creative. Ai will stop being an artist.

Most Ai Artists can't make 'art' with ai generators as many are else still unable to wrap their head around Ai. I talk about how we historically approach new ideas and why there's a hidden problem with ai generators and digital art in general.

For this series drawings I spent a lot of time in Bagley Wood, Oxfordshire creating this body of work, documenting the transitions between the seasons. There is an extreme freedom in the limitation of charcoal, a medium used by humans for over 30,000 years. It makes you examine all the subtle tonal shifts in the shadows and how the light falls.There’s also something about using sticks of compressed burnt wood to depict the loose alive branches that they once fed that feels very linked to the woodland.
During late spring, there is a point just before the weight of the leaves closes the upper canopy of the forest when the light is its most dynamic, different hues of green filter down to almost total darkness in summer. Without the ability to use colour to differentiate forms it forced me to work more on expressing elements of light, movement, wind and moisture. I found myself better able to capture the essence of the seasons in sketches, rather than photos, that I would work up later in the studio. Its sound strange but a winter sketch done with cold fingers and fast jagged lines represents the feeling of winter much better. Similarly the rapid fast changing forms of spring or smooth, full forms of summer. Four seasons and forty packs of charcoal later I’m proud to present Charcoal Though The seasons.
In other news I’m looking for spaces to put on my first live exhibition. I’ve been making art for so long that it sounds strange when I tell people that i've never put on a show in real life, I’ve simply never felt ready. That is until this year. So if you know anywhere I can hire, or any galleries who may be interested in showing my work, please do get in touch. I’m not on social media that much yet you can snoop over some of my old online shows on my website. If you’d like to support me, all the works from this project are available and I have a few smaller woodcuts and digital prints available to buy online.
All good things

The word Eutierria comes from the experience of peace with nature that is only comparable to full immersion into water. When Eutierria occurs, your perception of the boundaries between yourself and all else—the thoughts and feelings setting you off from the rest of the cosmos—seem to evaporate. This film confuses you on what is and what is not human.

On 18th February 2021 Sam Hamper opened this, his first exhibition, with a full body of work undertaken in late 2020 exploring masculinity. Importantly 'The Denied Masculine' is not uniquely about men, Hamper is not just on the hunt for a modernised ideal of the masculine to balance the feminine but also to counter the negative connotations increasingly dominating the concept. Hamper does not shy away from the dark side of unfettered masculine behaviour. Exploring how, in a process of cultural atonement, such areas are being highlighted and removed. Through a range of paintings, drawings and woodcuts Hamper examines masculine views of service, strength and sensitivity. As gender roles converge, and terms like masculinity and femininity are increasingly unlinked from sex, 'The Denied Masculine' suggests the need for men and women to seek the positive traits of both. To do this Hamper is turning over rocks and exploring murky waters looking to define a positive purpose for the masculine in the modern world.Doing an ONLINE art ExhibitionSam Hamper2021-02-18 | Live now at samhamper.com The Denied Masculine A STYLE STUMBLING EXPLORATION INTO MASCULINITY & RELATIONSHIPS
