Sam Druant

Based between Antwerp and Gothenburg, Sam Druant works across different media, spanning textile, aquarelle drawings, text, and oil paintings. She holds a BA and MA in Textile Design from LUCA School of Arts in Ghent (BE), and an MFA in Fine Arts from HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg (SE). Sam Druant’s work is grounded in research and a methodology of gathering. During this process, she engages with a constellation of sources in her surroundings, including images, texts, theories, and conversations, as she internalizes, interprets, and reshapes these materials within her practice.

Drawing on alternative feminine mythologies and feminist thought, Druant’s work explores desire, monstrous bodies, care for the (female) body, and the intricacies of human existence. Through a playful and ironic visual language, she disrupts dominant Western viewpoints by introducing counter-narratives and social critique. Her practice frequently involves activating installations through gatherings, creating a common space to exchange experiences, foster connections, and envision alternative futures.’
