adam reich artist statements visual artist
i am a visual artist,
working in a variety of media.


charcoal & conte drawings
combining gestural abstraction with figures & symbols.
untrammeled line, invented icons & archetypes, imagined creatures & objects, & other improvised discoveries & improbable prototypes.

action scans (digital art) scanned movements performed in an 8x12 frame during 45 seconds. this digital eye records spacetime; exploring perceptions of time, notions of self, & the inherent symbolism of the body & simple objects.

 

extended artist statement re: action scans

charcoal on laser-print photograph


stencil paintings combine and overlay simplified personal figures and icons with universal symbols, resulting in densely layered canvases as much about language and the unconscious as the specific naratives told within.

 

other media includes: collage, painting, photography, digital art, music (percussion), occasional delirious poetry, festival/ theatre production, zen-mad pseudo-science, & other aesthetic & cognitive experiments.


i am a York Graduate, with a BFA in Visual Arts, Studio practice.
