Artist + Adam Newman
Follow this artistAdam Newman (b. Oak Ridge, Tennessee 1984) currently resides in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is a visual artist creating art locally and nationally. His local works capture the color and texture in the city of New Orleans while his fine art consists of larger paintings using a variety of media. Here he often works in series to explore an interest or theme.
Newman’s artistic identity centers on the objective of investigating man-made objects and sociological constructs through earthy colored pastel paintings, figurative drawings, and thought provoking three dimensional pieces. The artist presents themes of vulnerability, social violence, scarcity, and “10% hope” through imagery that contrasts and personifies natural and synthetic elements within scenes of magical realism. His use of these recurring motifs are enriched by the incorporation of varying degrees of free association. A practice carried on from his earliest work in which he translated his subconscious into two dimensional realism. Newman has moved on to more pragmatic content in which he hopes to encourage social and economic change.
Newman’s work has exhibited at venues such as The Emporium in Knoxville, Tennessee; Where Ya Art Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana; and Studio Gallery in San Francisco, California. Newman has also executed large scale murals across the southeast in Nashville, Knoxville, and New Orleans.
