Born in 1991 in New York City, NY, Samuel Abelow was raised in Connecticut and studied at the
Sonic Arts Center of the City College of New York. Most recent exhibitions include “Summer
Solstice, Concrete Myths” at Van Der Plas Gallery, NYC, and “OCEAN” at Ezra Gallery of the
Hamptons.
As a painter, his works entered private collections in cities including Berlin, Manhattan,
Brooklyn, East Hampton, Greenwich, Westport, Fairfield, Ithaca, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
and Boulder. In 2019, his focus on painting culminated in a solo exhibition curated by Timothy
Hull titled “Samuel Abelow: The Orphic Dance & Persephone’s Eyes of Water,” presented by the
Azarian McCullough Gallery at St. Thomas Aquinas College in September 2019.
Between 2016 and 2019, he was employed as an art critic for the French journal
Art-Critique.com. In 2020, Abelow concluded his psychoanalytic sessions conducted in the
method of C.G. Jung, which continues to influence his paintings.
Since 2022, Samuel Abelow has been living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where he studies and
practices mysticism. These deep studies and the New York City environment inform and inspire
his works.
