Sam Lipp’s (b. 1989, London, lives and works in New York) work explores the image and its situation within systems of power, often focusing on representations of the body in relation to authority. Working largely in oil on steel, Lipp considers the material implications of the image and the conditions that produce it, often incorporating processes of degradation of the physical object (frottage, rust) and of the image itself (overexposure). His practice situates the digital image as the central mediating unit of the libidinal economy, where the painted object functions as a material referent for the immaterial image that supersedes it.
