Sam Allerton Green: Pre-Referential Solo Exhibition

Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design is pleased to announce another great collaboration with Hammetts Hotel in Newport!

Sam Allerton Green: Pre-Referential, a solo exhibition, will be on display in the hotel’s Sarah Langley Gallery from March 5 through June 24, 2026. There will be an Artist Reception on Saturday April 11th from 5:00- 7:00 PM. Sam Allerton Green is a landscape painter based in Providence, Rhode Island, whose work delves into the nuanced elements of New England’s diverse landscapes. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art and a Master of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Sam has cultivated a unique artistic voice that merges vibrant abstraction with a grittier perspective. Working primarily in oil, Sam’s paintings emphasize large shapes of color that capture both the serene and the overlooked elements of the landscape. He often focuses on the parts of the environment that the eye tends to overlook—the not-so-scenic details we quickly move past. By highlighting these less appreciated aspects, Sam invites viewers to slow down and engage with the richness of the landscape, encouraging a deeper appreciation for its complexities. His practice often takes him outdoors, where he paints en plein air in a variety of conditions, from the heat of the sun to the stillness of snow, and even under the night sky. Jessica Hagen states, “This is Sam Allerton Green’s second exhibit at Hammetts Hotel. We are thrilled to show his new work at the hotel due to the incredible response that Sam’s last exhibit received.”

Jessica Hagen Fine Art + Design was founded in 2005 and features contemporary art including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, and jewelry. Located in the historic Point section of Newport, the gallery’s spring hours are Wednesday- Saturday 11:00- 5:00 and Sunday 12:00- 5:00. The gallery is open by appointment Monday through Wednesday.
