Sam Werkhoven is a Dutch artist born in 1997. A recent graduate from the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht. Sam Werkhoven’s work centers around his fascination with light. Responding and reconnecting with works from art history, he creates a dialogue between the past and the present. One of the stark examples is his sky series, in which he connects with the Dutch painters of the 17th century on a topic of Dutch light. Currently participating at Dooyewaard residency, he is growing in recognition across the Netherlands as an aspiring artist.
