Abstruse 5/8 Painting

Adam Norgaard (b. 1991) is an American artist working in Japan for the past 8 years. His works reflect the process of adapting to a culture different from his own. Attracted to Japanese culture from a young age, he decided to relocate there soon after graduation. Working with oils as his main medium, he remains playful while also maintaining a finished quality. Adam attempts to bring the viewers into a foreign environment of their own by the atmosphere depicted in his paintings. In his own practice he is working at deviating from references and attempting to work completely from his imagination.
