Wayne Adams

I am a Brooklyn, NY-based artist/father/husband.

Painting is a way for me to process the world I inhabit—to both react to this world and imagine the world I want to exist.

With the abstractions and Double Positive series, I'm interested in the currents and undercurrents of experience that coexist in every moment, every decision and every action and their radiating effects.
