bio
Adam Hurst is a creative being in every realm of life as his means of survival. He is unafraid of the discomfort and pain of the deep emersion required to execute his vision. He dances with the muses of solitude, risk, technique, failure and the visceral in order to live in fullness.
"There are some artists whose work literally stops you dead in your tracks. You catch your breath, transfixed, afraid that if you breathe it might fade and dissolve. Encountering art at this level triggers an immediate, intimate familiarity, yet it is unlike anything you know, only what you have hoped would be. The experience is transporting, ecstatic, poignant and achingly beautiful all at once, in a moment of meeting that you will never forget. This was my experience in first encountering Adam Hurst.” -Robert Gould
ARTIST STATEMENT
Concepts can have many manifestations. I work in series and define parameters during my artistic experiments in order to create permutations of an idea. Working simultaneously on many pieces in a series allows variations to develop.
My visual artwork is like my instrumental compositions; both are nonobjective, and both are about mystery, beauty, emotion. My visceral response is what is most important in determining when a work is complete.
Technique, simplicity, detail, and feeling guide my creative process.
