Brian Patrick Adams has always been drawn to telling visual stories with the use of collage and mixed media. His process consists of combining and assembling multiple disciplines and mediums within one piece. Through combining oil and acrylic paints, photo transfer, polymer resin, fabric, paper, wood and found objects, Adams explores the relationship between 2D and 3D work. The thread that unifies Adams’ work is his ultimate goal is to create pieces that seamlessly blend media and dimensionality.
Adams’ inspiration comes from several sources: occasionally from a potential title or collage pattern that he has created and at other times from a found object or hybrid object that he assembles. His images are imagined stories which are based upon narratives that he has created using religious, mythic and historical icons as well as other found and self-assembled characters and objects.
