Vigo Gallery

The Vigo Gallery virtual tour features a spacious, custom-built virtual gallery, displaying paintings Samuel Bassett. The name of the virtual show is ‘Oi Oi’, showing his detailed psychologically layered paintings about the human condition and his/our place within the madness of contemporary life. The format of the space was chosen to fit a selection of large-scale paintings, which would be difficult to showcase together in a real-life setting due to space constraints. The concrete floor reflects the view of a misty English countryside, which helps to ground the gallery in the space. Vigo Virtual Gallery expands the boundaries of the real world, in terms of style, scope, and location. Artworks are spanned between the two floors of the gallery. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows open the space and fill the rooms with natural light.
