A.D. STRANGE
DOSSIER
Art is the corporeal representation of the deeply unsettling knot of humanity, which the artist tries to untie.
Adam Strange is a Canadian artist whose work will shock and delight you! Adam’s artistic influence is the Dada/Surrealist spirit and it’s methods. Adam works with computer software and montage at the intersection between twentieth century approaches to analogue painting, collage and film, with twenty-first century digital tools and resources to create contemporary artefacts. Adam’s method includes recontextualizing found photographs and digital assets, sutured with the juxtaposition of internal realities, chance and accident, to reveal global expressions and sensibilities. Adam creates his art for your pleasure or desolation, seeking the essentia, reflecting the under-current, offering respite from the illogics of the outside world, all to tickle your fancy in the disturbed.
