Abstract

Sam Jinks' hyper-real sculptures have been described as 'poignantly beautiful' as his works create a dialogue on both a technical and emotional level through a strong sensitivity to detail. Sculpted from clay, these heartbreakingly exquisite and mesmerising works are then moulded and cast in silicon. Additional materials such as fabric, human hair, composite marble and calcium carbonate are also incorporated into his current work. Jinks' works are irresistible in their striking resemblances to real life causing one to ponder larger universal ideas associated with life, death, and intimacy. [Gallery publicity].
