Biography
For the last 20 years, Adam has been living and sculpting in Colorado. He has been commissioned to sculpt animals, portraits, memorials, and monuments for both private and corporate collections.
His bronze and stone sculptures have been placed all over America, including such noteworthy locations as Arlington National Cemetery, and in collections of people like Tommy Dorsey.
Adam's body of work ranges from miniature to monumental, and currently includes his latest collection of bronze sculptures, the Goddess Series, a celebratory expression of ‘delightfully abundant’ figurative nudes.
Artist's statement: The Goddess Series
It is so gratifying to me when I hear that my sculptures have inspired people to look at themselves in a different, more positive way.
Living in a culture where people of size are largely looked upon as unattractive, many people don't even consider the idea that there might be more than one 'narrow' definition of beauty in the world.
Through creating images of female figures that are typically greeted with negativity, and rendering them with a certain confidence and sensuality, I invite the viewer to celebrate the overlooked goddess in every woman.
I feel like if there are more beautiful, size-positive images of people to be seen in the public eye, we'll start to see our own body’s unique qualities as beautiful as well.
To this end, I'm starting a project where I'll create permanent, large- scale, beautifully abundant, figurative sculptures that are wrought in bronze, and install them publicly in every state in America.
I believe that if I can place more of this ‘abundant’ artwork around, we will as a society, start to celebrate in the variety of shapes and sizes of people we see around us instead of distaining differences as we are sometimes taught.
I believe that getting this artwork placed publicly is important. These sculptures will begin to inspire people to be moved to promote peace, love and happiness in the world. What could be better than that?
I hope this 'goddess series' will help people look at themselves and at others in a new light... as children of nature... beautiful and perfect.
