About
Sam Rolfes is a Chicago- and New York–based mixed-format digital artist and director. Using the human body as a mark-making device and underlying structure, he crafts diffusive psychosexual worlds that sublimate space and identity. His work examines the mutability and malleability of flesh, and surreal performance through the lens of contemporary portraiture.
