PHOENIX // REBIRTH
Seoul 2024 & 2025
STATEMENT AND STUDY
Paintings on Polarity and Chirality
PHOENIX // REBIRTH (BIRTH // DEATH) is an exploration of time, chirality, adventure, tension, and fluid dynamics. Influenced by living a short time in Korea, eighteen pieces have been produced for exhibition at Eugene Art Space gallery in Gangnam, Seoul (link). Adam’s arduously detailed paint and illustration works explore naturalistic themes studying the interactions of fluid and stone, gravity and spacetime, and the motion of magmatic flow. Central to this exhibition are two large chiral works: EDEN and SLUMBER. Both contain solemn angelic figures (산신) in a state of rest, their worlds tumultuously cascading around them. The motif of chaos mixed with calm, core to the exhibition, intends to ignite our inherited natural inner curiosities, doused by the ebbs and flows life brings in adulthood.
All work is on cyclic display at Eugene Art Space gallery in Gangnam, Seoul (link). The opening was on July 27th, 2024 in Seoul at the gallery. Paintings on canvas have edged covered and illustrations on high-quality watercolor paper are framed. There is a second exhibition planned for mid-March, 2025.
