Call him Kolchoz or call him Sovchov, either way it all leads back to the same man. Sam Vanallemeersch is an artist with a split personality. On one side he arranges and rearranges shape and form meticulously until all the colours, shapes and subjects balance, taking on a life of their own, while his other, darker side does just the opposite. A hurricane of scratching and scribbling with nothing but paper, pen and intuition, Vanallemeersch has the deft hand of a young spatially aware Ralph Steadman and an unravelling subconscious.

About Sam Vanallemeersch
Antwerp based artist Sam Vanallemeersch born in 1978 has been taking the illustration scene by storm since he appeared in Thames and Hudson's 2007 Street Sketchbook garnering commissions from the likes of Monocle Magazine The City of Antwerp Orange KLM and TBWA/OMD amongst many others. His success as a commercial illustrator has been matched by his popularity as an underground artist with his enigmatic sketchbooks receiving widespread acclaim in the wider design community. Taking not one but two monikers Sam's mind-boggling ability to switch seamlessly from restricted albeit beautiful ligne-clair illustration under the guises of his Kolchoz persona to his noisy erratic impressionistic compositions as his mad alter-ego Sovchoz results in a body of work to leave you utterly breathless and in awe.
