‘Selfish Objects’ by artist Sam Tufnell’s opens at Ivy Brown Gallery Thursday, September 19th 6-8pm. Tufnell is known for his unique approach to sculpture and mixed media, his work involves seemingly everyday objects to crate thought-provoking and innovative pieces of art. Tufnell aims to express his views on contemporary society and issues that effect us all. The work is characterized by its inventiveness that challenge, our assumptions and encourage us to think more deeply about the world around us.

Tufnell’s use of everyday objects elevates the mundane into art that speaks to the broader issues of our time. His sculptures and mixed media pieces do more than just challenge our assumptions; they invite us to reexamine the very fabric of contemporary life, which is often challenging.

Tufnell’s work serves as a reminder that these challenges—whether they manifest as environmental pollution, social inequality, political unrest, or personal struggles—are intrinsic parts of our shared experience. Rather than viewing these obstacles as mere burdens, Tufnell encourages us to see them as opportunities for reflection, creativity, and action.

Tufnell’s art becomes a powerful metaphor for resilience and transformation, inspiring us to find the beauty and meaning in the chaos of contemporary society.
