Sam Stewart is known for his considered and witty referential objects, his latest work is informed by the aspirational ersatz design of the suburbs. Stewart often draws from nostalgia and personal experience, this body of work uses humor to conjure up suburban ennui and dystopia. Finely produced, these pieces reimagine notable suburban forms, from trampolines to DIY lawn sculpture. This will be the NY-based designer's second solo show at Volume Gallery.

About
Volume Gallery
Volume Gallery focuses on American art and design, with a strong emphasis placed on emerging contemporary artists and designers. Volume Gallery releases editions, publications and organizes exhibits that showcase the work of American artists and designers to regional, national and international audiences. We are asking critical questions of what it means to be an American artist/designer in a culture that is rapidly becoming more global, while simultaneously examining the American experience. Outside of an active gallery program, institutional shows and acquisitions are an important component to the roster’s activities. Over the course of the gallery’s history we have placed over 50 pieces in nearly 20 public institutions (LACMA, SFMOMA, AIC, MAD, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Mint Museum and the Renwick to name a few).
