Sumayyah Samaha's 'Long Voyage' at Leila Heller New York

'Long Voyage', a solo exhibition featuring recent paintings and works on paper by Sumayyah Samaha, is being showcased at Leila Heller Gallery in New York from July 25 to August 31. Utilizing oil, charcoal, and watercolor, Samaha crafts abstract pieces that harmonize dynamic brushstrokes with flat areas of color. Her creative process spans months of layering, scraping, and repainting, evident in pieces such as 'My 2nd Voyage, 2020'. With over 40 years of experience in oil, charcoal, watercolor, ceramics, sculpture, and installation, the artist characterizes her method as 'free, stream of consciousness painting'. The exhibition takes place at Leila Heller's New York location.
