Self-taught artist Ricky Lee Gordon (b. 1984) was born in Johannesburg South Africa. Having lived and worked in Cape Town he moved to LA in 2016 to study classical painting. Ricky who used to work under the pseudonym Freddy Sam for many years, is mostly known for his large-scale murals that can be seen in cities all over the world, reaching from New York to Istanbul and Madagascar to Kathmandu.

“The art benefits the practice of meditation and the meditation benefits the practice of art”

Ricky has been inspired by his experiences in meditation and Buddhist Dharma (law of nature) and therefore now his paintings explore the nature of non-duality and interconnectedness focusing on bringing to light relevant social issues and universal truths. His intention with his murals is to create artwork that has a connection to the people and place in which he is painting. — Artist statement
