Adam Greener

Adam Greener has been a longtime storyteller. As a kid, Adam spent most of every 56-minute class period doodling in his spiral-bound, visual wanderings that often landed him in detention, repeatedly writing "| will not..." In his large-scale loose leaf canvases, seemingly torn from the notebook of a distracted grade-schooler, Adam Greener explores the ways in which the youthful imagination processes the chaotic swirl of social and cultural imagery that seeks to shape, stimulate, and confine it all at once. With his series of ink illustrations, created on handmade "notebook" sheets, he taps into his memories of his early visual preoccupations and re-presents them with a witty and subversive not-so grown-up eye.

Adam's art is not just an exploration of his own past but a mirror reflecting the universal, often turbulent journey of growing up. By revisiting relatable themes of adolescence- those formative years that are both uniquely personal and deeply shared - he invited viewers into a communal space of reflection. Through his work, Adam reminds us that despite our diverse paths, the core experiences of our formative years are a shared tapestry, women together by the common threads of joy, confusion, rebellion and discovery. His art becomes a bridge connecting the individual to the universal, the past to the present, and the imagined to the real, inviting all who encounter it to find a piece of their now story within his work.
