About the Item
Bruce Adams is best known as a conceptually based figurative painter who references various (often historical) painting styles. In exploring the act of painting, Adams peels back the layers of meaning inherent in making and viewing art.
Series Statement:
The concept for this work grew out of a chance occurrence. Having just finished a series of work, and not quite settled on what to do next, I came across a set of index cards containing lecture notes written by my studio partner for a lecture he had done some years before. Though clearly art-related, the notations viewed out of context, had no specific meaning. Some were vaguely familiar quotes while others read as non-sequiturs. As I studied them I became aware that I was mentally creating contexts for the written fragments independent of the writer’s intention. I began viewing them as painting titles and imagining what the paintings might look like. This spontaneous response is not inconsistent with what Andre Breton referred to as “pure psychic automatism.”
