TH4Y ‘26 - MEET THE ARTISTS: Sam Black /

Sam Black is a painter working predominantly with oil - her use of layered oil paint explores the unstable terrain between language and image working to investigate how images can be recontextualised subconsciously, looking for patterns of reassurance in dreams.

Through her practice Sam explores personal feelings of identity, desire and conflict through themes of mistranslation and repurposing of the imaginary in the desire for authenticity. Her work is punctuated by typography that destabilises the visual language of the paintings, interpreted as commands, spells or poems upholding an intentionally ambiguous communication speaking to the languageless-ness of connection.

For TH4Y, Sam has expanded on her current practice of typography and visual collaging, expressing cultural merging and reconstruction. Drawing inspiration from the customisation and personification seen in everyday Filipino visual culture particularly the customisation of jeepneys and tarpaulin banner tradition.

TH4Y ‘26 - MEET THE ARTISTS: Anna Tewungwa /

Anna Tewungwa is a Glasgow based mixed-media artist whose practice centres her relationship with her built environment. Taking inspiration directly from the urban landscape, Anna calls attention to the derelict and underutilised sites around us, by collecting and recording symbols, colours and objects to represent sites of unfulfilled civic desire.

Drawing from encounters with the excess of highstreet retail and idealised advertisements has inspired a visual lexicon of repetition and collection that forms an artistic practice. Utilising craft based methods such as beading and sewing to invoke a sense of play, messiness and vandalism

For TH4Y, Anna has leaned into a more considered visible process of working through ideas about object-hood and material culture.

TH4Y ‘26 - MEET THE ARTISTS: NINA PRICE /

Nina Price is a visual artist living and working in Shetland. As a painter, Nina responds directly and sincerely to the landscape she calls home. Embracing immediacy and states of flow, Nina distils a scene into its essence through decisive demarcations of colour and texture. Rather than depicting a single location or landmark, she captures an impression of the land in a moment. Nina’s practice relies on being keenly attuned to time and place. While negotiating shifting light and the elements, she finds a free-spirited meditation in painting. 

For They Had Four Years, Nina has been working on a collection of small landscape paintings inspired by Shetland, working across acrylics and oils.
