Adam Simon
Biography
Adam Simon is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY, known both for his paintings and for projects addressing the presentation and distribution of art. He has also written art criticism and curated exhibitions. Simon’s paintings often mine cultural phenomena, including newspaper layout and content, stock photography, iconic images from art history and (most recently) corporate logos. Most of the paintings begin with the creation of stencils. In a 2012 video interview with James Kalm, Simon said, “I’m a conceptual artist first, I’m a figurative artist when I’m making drawings for the stencils and when I’m actually painting I’m an abstract painter.” Simon has exhibited his paintings in the United States and Europe, most recently at Studio 10 in Brooklyn, NY and Galerie Richard in NYC. He has been the recipient of several awards and grants including a NYC Percent for Art commission and a Yaddo artist’s residency.
