About the Artist

Adam Elder

The universe is made of chaos. Through my art process, I try to turn that chaos into art. Without a final image in mind, I make marks by editing, destroying, erasing, and endlessly repeating shapes and colors. Eventually, through the noise, an image begins to form, and I realize the marks were anything but random. If I could easily distill it into words, the art would not be worth making at all. The fact is, I am not really sure where the images come from. However, with each piece I make I get closer to understanding. My work is inspired by spirituality, meditation, trance music, and the psychedelic experience. The process is chaotic, combining traditional painting with digital collage and glitch art techniques, I am focused on creating striking, complex, colorful, visionary works.
