BIRTH // DEATH
Seoul Exhibition 2024
STATEMENT AND STUDY
Paintings on Polarity and Chirality
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 and then calm, core to the exhibition, intends to bring the viewer on a journey and incite our inherited natural inner curiosities, often doused by the ebbs and flows life brings in adulthood.
All work will be on sale at the Eugene Art Space gallery in Gangnam, Seoul (link). The opening was on July 27th, 2024 in Seoul at the gallery and the show will go until August 30th. Paintings on canvas have edged covered and illustrations on high-quality watercolor paper are framed.
