Happy First Friday! Join us tonight from 6-9 PM for the opening reception of Dreamland - a solo exhibition featuring Adam Cooley.
Adam Cooley is an American artist based in New York and Osaka, Japan. He grew up in rural New York and had an early natural inclination towards art. Being an autodidact, Cooley is a highly inventive artist and uses various materials and processes in his works. He has worked in painting, sculpture, film, fashion, interior design and performance art. The influences and inspirations of his work are wide and fascinating and range from philosophy, alchemy, esotericism, nature, symbolism, medieval art, ancient Egyptian art and even contemporary trends such as fantasy and steam-punk.
His works are mostly comprised of paintings and sculptures, are highly symbolic and focus on esoteric and archetypal themes. The use and juxtaposition of traditional figurative images, geometrical objects and numbers are key characteristics of his art. He also displays a deep fascination with materials and the natural transition from one state to another through natural processes of aging and rusting.
