Adam Hyde

Born in Dudley in 1984, im an artist working in paint, film, and anything that fits"My work is a mystery even to myself, a mixture of past emotions and experiences, and an enjoyment and passion for making something, for representing life as i know it. Memories play a huge part in what ive done so far, and people play a huge part in what i hope to do."Above is what i used to think, but now i use a little less hope and lot more focus.My work, in animation and painting comes back to the same themes time and again of love, exile, isolation and people... always with the people.I pay a great deal of attention to style and content, obsessive almost, in the attempt to get a harmony going on between me and the work.Recently my paintings are veering off towards a particular 'way', and i want to let it go where it wants.. providing my obligations for paying the bills dont get in the way
