About the Artist:

Born in 1983 and raised in Los Angeles, Samuel has been living on Kaua‘i since 2015. He began his career in 1999 within the Los Angeles graffiti subculture— those early formative years painting in the streets continue to influence his work today, serving as a foundational element in both his process and aesthetic. His work is ever-evolving, yet consistently engages the nuances of modern culture—subcultures, geopolitics, their interconnections, and conflicts.

Notably, his work has been exhibited at institutions such as The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles and The Bishop Museum in Honolulu, and is part of Capitol Modern’s permanent collection.

Alongside his art practice, Schryver has studied and worked across a wide spectrum of commercial arts— having spent over 20 years working as a fashion designer and commercial art director.
