COLLECTION 2 - AVANT-GARDE

344 KALTBLUT
“Centaur collage”
KALTBLUT: What do you want to convey through your
work? What do you want people who come to your
shows to see/think?
Adam: I try to convey a symbolic cartoon-mythology. I
try to do it as romantically as possible. I want to convey
concepts like infinity, violence, passion, and humor
in a way that’s palatable for humans. I think people
usually go to an artshow and it’s fairly boring, so I hope
to make mine not boring.
KALTBLUT: We know you have an art show coming up
in New York. Could you give us some more detail about
it? When? Where? What will be on display?
Adam: The show is called “Cartoon and Complaint” it
opens June 9th in The Intercourse, Red Hook, Brooklyn.
There is an opening reception on the 9th and then
a public viewing and meet the artist on the 10th of
June. It’s my solo exhibition and will feature a collection
of paintings and mixed media works. “Cartoon
and Complaint” began as a deeper exploration of the
cartoon-mythology that I outlined in my previous show
“Teen Tech.” The first paintings in the cycle were inspired
by drug-visions.
Next a box of crayons and a deck of tarot cards led
to a series of collaborative drawings with [musician/
artist] Fabrizio Moretti. Finally, I have been greatly inspired
by “Aladdin,” something which shows itself in
some of the paintings in this show, and I hope to revisit
again.
KALTBLUT: Do you already have a favourite piece for
the art show?
Adam: I really like the darker paintings which focus on
the Complaints. I guess I like the complaints in some
ways even more than the cartoons. I like thick dark
colors but I often forget that. I wish I could forget how
much I love to draw with crayons.
