Bideford Moon Painting

Adam Grose’s practice explores fragility creating a dialogue between the past and present. Images respond to a myriad of influences, including historical, personal, memorial, human complexity and our changing landscapes. He aims to capture expressive moments via plein-air glimpses and memory, gathering a diverse array of images, serving as a foundation for constructing his prints and paintings, where layers of colour and line intertwine, forming a visual tapestry that evolves over time. ​Through masking, scrawling and destruction, Grose embraces the concept of entropy to breathe new life into the work, fostering fresh interactions and interventions. The multi-layered artwork bears their history: each layer interacting to create images that echo the past moment in the present. This exploration expands Grose’s artistry, leading to experiments with new forms of print and painting, seeking harmonious balance between form and space, conveying poetic lyricisms of environmental and societal complexity.
