Oil on canvas 24 x20 in. Rolf Sambale is a German Haitian artist who was born in 1961 and grew up during the 1980s, a period that had a significant impact on his artistic style and influences. He was particularly influenced by the social and political changes that were happening around him, including the rise of global capitalism, the Cold War, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.Sambale’s art is deeply rooted in the art movements of the 1980s, which were characterized by a mixture of pop art, neo-expressionism, and street art. The art of this era was highly individualistic, and Sambale’s work reflects this ethos. He has developed a unique artistic style that is instantly recognizable, often incorporating bold colors and geometric shapes.One of the most significant influences on Sambale’s art was the Neo Geo movement, which emerged in the 1980s. This movement was characterized by its use of industrial materials and geometric shapes, and Sambale’s work often incorporates similar themes. He has a fascination with the interplay between form and color, and his paintings often feature bold, bright colors juxtaposed against stark black and white lines.Another influence on Sambale’s art was the street art and graffiti scene, which was beginning to gain prominence in the 1980s. Artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Kenny Scharf were making a name for themselves in the art world, and their work had a profound impact on Sambale’s artistic style. He often incorporates elements of graffiti into his paintings, and his work has a raw, urban feel that is reminiscent of the street art of the 1980s.
