Adam Hedley, 'Into the Light'

Adam Hedley (b 1985, High Wycombe, UK) lives and works in Bristol, where he currently has a studio at BV Studios.

Adam’s amorphic and free-form compositions operate in the space between nature, figuration and abstraction. Building up colour washes and dry brushed layers, influenced by modernist and colour field methodologies, Adam works with traces of an image, grappling with interior and exterior space, recognisable forms, and a pushing and pulling between one place and time and another. His paintings’ textured and blurry surfaces suggest a slow methodical approach and conjure up a spiritual and meditative practice engaged with reality, fragments of history, memory, ancient practices and reimagined spaces.
