Artist Statement

Adam Grose's practice explores time through weaving echoes of the past with the present.  Engaging various influences, ranging from the historical to the personal, his work delves into the intricacies of human complexity and our evolving connections with the environment. 

 

Using a vibrant mix of colours and lines, Grose crafts a visual narrative that unfolds and transforms with each viewing. 

​

His prints and paintings serve as glimpses and snapshots, capturing moments and reflections that seek to capture our relationship with the urban and country landscapes, in a serene and inviting manner.

​

Through masking, scrawling and destruction, Grose embraces the concept of entropy, breathing new life into the work, fostering fresh interactions and interventions.  The multi-layered artworks bears their history: each layer interacting to create images that echo the past in the present moment.

​

This exploration expands Grose’s artistry, leading to experiments with new forms of printmaking and painting, seeking a harmonious balance between form and space, conveying poetic lyricisms that explore environmental and societal complexities.

​

The work is a testament to the fragility of existence, capturing moments of ephemeral beauty and meaning through a continual renewal and evolution. It seeks to not only reflect the complexities of our past, but also offer a glimpse into what may lie ahead, forging a timeless connection between the past, present, and future.
