About the Artist
From large-scale installations to tiny works on paper, Jonathan Kent Adams presents his paintings in traditional and unorthodox ways. This presentation allows for viewers to imagine those who do not follow social constructions existing alongside those who do.
Adams's work places emphasis on the figure, but also explores communication through still life, video, poetry, and occasional landscape. Similar to contemporary artist Lesley Dill, Adams creates realities that stem from words he encounters. His work encourages self-discovery amid traditions that often deny the outsider's existence.
Adams earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at the University of Mississippi. He studied under Mary Beth Mckenzie at the Art Students League of New York. His work was shown alongside other LGBTQ artists at Art Basel Miami in 2015 and 2016.
