Sam Chinkes
painting, drawing, sculpture, and design

Sam Chinkes is an ad agency owner, artist, industrial designer and stylist. His one-of-a-kind, spontaneous foam sculptures are most unique, including his public demonstrations for art groups and fund-raising organizations. The live demonstrations consist of allowing members of the audience to cut and carve into the starting block of foam, cheese or even jello prior to Sam's spontaneous sculpting, thereby "damaging" any possible advance concept for the final design. The resulting "mess" presents a challenge to Sam which he overcomes by continuing (even to music) to carefully remove material (never adding) until he is pleased with the resulting visually rhythmic, flowing and aesthetically pleasing sculptural, abstract form. Genuine applause follows.
