Adam Bruce Wentworth
"Whether examining the individual or the impact of media, celebrity, advertising and politics on the collective psyche, my work seeks to come to an understanding with our traditions, motivations and the façades we project. How can conflicting elements of humanity be reconciled? My work takes its inspiration from this question. All information is taken in, processed and restructured, the resulting images reveal the by-products of their original components, looking beneath the surface of what we are told and what we are sold.
Various techniques are employed to express these concepts, some work focuses heavily on the photographic image, using silkscreen printing or photo collage, while other works rely exclusively on the raw, organic qualities of oil paint. By alternating styles, the work is kept fresh, each piece informing the next through shared ideas and color schemes. This approach creates a unique texture for the eye as the body of work is observed as a whole, while allowing enough room to be free of the restrictions of labels or definitions. " ABW

Adam Bruce Wentworth challenges our hearts and minds with his portraits that are not meant to flatter but to delve deep into the lives, personalities and motivations of his subjects. Histories are hinted at and darkness is often revealed - all cloaked in humor, irony and, deep down, a sometimes surprising degree of respect.
