About The Artwork

For Dichotomic (lit., two states opposed), Adelmann engineers an ongoing sequence of paintings that explore a struggle between human- and digital-born forms of creativity and the idea of formulaically deriving abstraction from previous abstraction. The struggle is apparent in the forced warping of the imagery, while the artists hand is evident in the thick paint and immense brush strokes.The work entails digital manipulation of previous work, using that imagery as reference to paint a second order work, which then is once more documented and distorted to produce reference imagery for a third painting, and so on. The process relates to a derivative equation, and acts in itself as a kind of visual proof of the previous painting that it came from.

Adelmann is deeply interested in the use of art as a study tool for investigations into epistemology and metaphysics. His practice challenges diametric structures related to physical and spiritual, seen and unseen, and heaven and earth. Adelmann explores the proposition of a supernal universe that precedes these maxims, established from studies in ancient history, religion and philosophy. In 2011, Adelmann received a BA in Philosophical Studies at CSU Northridge. After a year in an assistantship to a prominent artist, Adelmann was selected to attend the SSPI Painting Program at Tyler School of Art. He's shown in galleries from Tokyo to New York, and has been interviewed by critic Anthony Haden-Guest (who famously was the last to interview Basquiat) and curator Kate Mothes, among others. Benjamin has been active in shows and publications for the past 10 years. He lives and works in Washington USA.
