Samantha McCurdy

Samantha McCurdy is a Philadelphia native living and working in Los Angeles. She earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and has exhibited in galleries across Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Mexico City, and Paris.
Mystery and tension permeate McCurdy’s sculptural paintings. Minimal yet enigmatic, their skillfully constructed forms protrude from stretched fabric, hinting at concealed shapes beneath the surface. By replacing traditional canvas with thin, stretchable fabric, the works evoke the form-fitting qualities of clothing. Spherical objects push beyond the frame’s confines, creating tension between revelation and concealment. Tightly arranged, each piece reaches toward its neighbor yet never fully connects, inviting curiosity while maintaining its own unwavering agency. Each piece is handcrafted by McCurdy in her Los Angeles studio. With over ten years of refining her process, her work reflects a deep commitment to craftsmanship and precision.
Her work is featured in high-end residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces and has been acquired by renowned interior designers such as Kelly Wearstler, Michael Hilal, Pulp Design Studio, Natalie O Design, Jaime Walters, and Punch World Studio. Hospitality clients include The Standard Hotel, Proper Hotels and Residences, and The W Hotel. She recently created a showcase for Design Within Reach’s Artist Spotlight Series in Costa Mesa, CA. McCurdy has exhibited at The Future Perfect LA, The Dallas Art Fair, Aspen Art Fair, Frieze NYC, Untitled Art Fair Miami, Zonamaco MCX, and Collectible NYC Design Fair. She has also presented several solo exhibitions with Galleri Urbane and participated in group shows worldwide.
