(3.95 - 146 votes)About Adam:
Adam is currently working in the Masters Program for Sculpture at The Academy of Art in San Francisco, CA. Adam was also juried into the 2008 National Sculpture Competition in Lyme Connecticut and won 1st Place for Figurative Sculpture in the Academy of Art’s 2008 Spring Show with “Pan With His iPod”.
About Adam’s “Socio-Technic Evolution” series:
This series explores the way in which modern technology changes the way western culture interacts with its world. The first one is “Sleeping Gamer”, based on the Greek sculpture “Sleeping Satyr”, is about a video game player (playstation controller in hand) resting between long periods of play. The second is the Greek god Pan. In my version, he is listening to his iPod rather than playing his flute.
These should become a question to the viewer about “why Greek images are used to represent us?”, “how have we changed from then?”, “What does it mean for us to change?”

Great craftmanship, very classic looking, but the iPod seems like a cheap play for relevance. I don’t think it means anything. Other than “Pan would have enjoyed an iPod.”

That Pan is just brilliant – a wonderful idea and so imaginative in design!

Powerful work. Are these clay w/wax patina?
Comment by Bruce Dean — April 10, 2009
shockingly good work. not of this era then so of this era. my guess is that only a handful now have this craft yet the art still surpasses the craft.

I think the craftmanship is wonderful but i do not understand the meaning at all!!

Jeez! You can see who he was influenced by!! I immediately think of Donatello’s work!

The top sculpture caught my attention. I find it inspiring and thought provoking. To me it looks to represent Mans eternal struggle to free himself from his own demons. Very real, very heavy! I would be very interested in knowing its true meaning from the artist.Awesome work!

At first I just saw the top picture and wasn’t blown away… Then seeing “Pan With His Ipod” made me nearly fall out of my chair.
Awesome!
