(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?”

Hmmm…”Kitch”…yes, I like that. I gladly embrace that label in the tradition of Warhol, and Duchamp, thanks Rick.
Thanks to everyone else for the constructive, informed comments.

Somehow, the word “Kitch” comes to mind! Great work! At first glance I thought I was viewing an Old Master’s work…as it turns out, It’s the work of a Young Master! Hopefully, 500 years from now, students will be studying HIS WORKS!

This work makes a statement about where we have been and where we are going. Not all art does that. Very well executed
