Hello!

Born and raised in the Green Mountains of northern Vermont, Sam Jaspersohn is an artist in both the visual and musical fields. His musical journey commenced as a teenager when he built his first computer for electronic composition at 15, simultaneously mastering the art of vinyl mixing. Over the years, he has cultivated a following, with his track "Islands" featured on John Digweed's Bedrock 18–Signals compilation in 2016. His music, released on esteemed imprints such as Tenampa Recordings and Manjumasi Music, has garnered support from industry luminaries including John Digweed, Pete Tong, and Hernan Cattaneo. Following a 12-year tenure in Brooklyn, Jaspersohn relocated to Los Angeles in 2017, where he continues to explore diverse musical projects. His productions are noted for their intricate balance of melancholic and euphoric tones, juxtaposing darkness and light with clarity and nuance. In 2018, he joined the influential music collective ebb + flow.

Simultaneously, Jaspersohn has established himself as an abstract visual artist based in Vermont. A graduate of Skidmore College with a BS in Fine Arts, he has experience as a set designer, and prop stylist and art handler in both New York and Los Angeles. His large-scale canvases merge abstract expressionism with a dynamic use of color, characterized by bold, sweeping brushstrokes that evoke movement and emotional depth. Jaspersohn’s artistic vision is to convey energies, calm, and introspection, utilizing diverse media such as acrylics, spray cans, watercolors, resin, oils, and silkscreens. Through both his music and visual art, he aims to inspire and provide profound new perspectives to his audience.

I studied as a printmaker. Intaglio, block, screen. In printmaking, you work in states: pull a proof, cut more into the plate, pull again.

I paint the same way, additive and subtractive. Layers go down, then I take the
wall sander to the whole thing and flatten it out — what survives is the next state. Water as resist. Combs dragged through wet paint. Then a resin coat.

Before this, I spent years in art department in New York and LA — set design, prop-styling — on commercial and film shoots. That work was about surface and
delivery. Both are still in the paintings.

The originals are one of one. There's no second pull. Prints are limited, archival
pigment on paper, taken from the same-numbered original.

The WHORL PAINTINGS are all made using custom brushes and mark-making tools.

The color palette often pulls directly from the natural world outside my studio door.

The WHORL collection is available as limited prints & unique paintings.
