Upcoming Exhibitions
John M. Adams
Happy Holidays! Its been a productive fall and summer so why not start 2011 off with two exhibitions of my new work: a third to begin in March. I hope to see you at the "Finding Zero" opening reception on January 9, 2011 from 4-6pm. More details below....
"Finding Zero"
at The Athenaeum
Artwork
Solo Exhibition: January 6, 2011 - February 26, 2011

John M. Adams' paintings represent the process of grasping at that which is transient and ephemeral. Adams' adventures canoeing down rivers, traversing mountains, and navigating urban jungles inform their visual language. His perceptions of these experiences remain ambiguously familiar and appear if not in the composition of the work, then in the process. More info here.Opening Reception: 4-6pm, January 9, 2011
