Samuel Derounian (born 1987 Hexham, UK) is a visual artist working primarily with printmaking and installation art.

Between 2015 and 2017 he attended the Slade School of Fine Art, London and The Glasgow School of Art between 2008-2011[1]. His work has been exhibited and presented internationally, including at Tate Modern, London in 2023..[2]

Work:

Derounian's earlier work has been described as installations consisting of "theatrical wooden cut out[s] of...figures' silhouette[s]"[3] . More recent work has been characterised by "sculptures that combine figures and objects in surreal assemblages resembling ‘characters’ in theatrical tableaux – that are often animated by synchronised lights and sound or performance" alongside "[screen]prints which often function like proposals or sketches for...installations."[4]

Other:

Aside from his work as an artist, Derounian has also published writing and exhibition reviews in Magasinet Kunst[5], idoart.dk[6]. In 2016 he curated '(Un)doing, (Un)making' at Hardwick Gallery, The University of Gloucestershire[7]
