Sumptuous Subsistence 

by Chris Samy

'Existing timelessly by virtue of its essence and with humble splendour' - Wiktionary



This collection of limited edition photographs by artist, Chris Samy, is a vivid manifestation of our collective drive for perfection. The images are sweet and sour, savoury and reviving; but above all they acknowledge the human condition in all its glory.

Within the body of work on display at Gasworks’ Angela Robarts-Bird gallery, each image depicts the meticulous efforts of the artisan to create produce that is unique and accessible. From heirlooms to simple roots, the images are imbued with elegance and power and invite the viewer to venture into another world.
