The Epitome Gallery is proud to be displaying Points In Time by Sam Oetinger for the month of October. This monochrome black and white series of paintings explores themes of time, memory, the nostalgia of childhood and possibly the existential absurdity of the impermanence of existence.

Join us Saturday October 5th 6-9pm Arts Alive for the opening reception.

Points In Time is on display October 2nd-27th, 2024

We wanted to know more about Points In Time so we reached out to Sam and received this statement:

Through this series of black and white paintings, I’ve delved into the transient nature of life, seeking to capture the subtle beauty found in its fleeting moments. Utilizing monochrome tones and intricate linework, I aim to convey the impermanence of existence with a sense of quiet, static introspection. Each piece serves as an invitation for viewers to contemplate the passing of time and the ephemeral essence of our everyday experiences. With a minimalist approach, I strive to convey the profound yet brief moments that shape our lives, hoping to leave a lasting impression on those who take a moment to reflect. The contrast between black and white underscores the dichotomy of existence, while the intricacy of the linework draws attention to the delicate details within each moment. Ultimately, my paintings speak to the enduring significance of the passage of time, inviting viewers to find meaning in the fugacious nature of life.
