“He’s one of the most talented designers I’ve ever worked with,” Bobbitt says. “I had ideas. I really wanted it to feel high art, heavily detailed … He took it even further. He’s created a beautiful world.”
FILM + TV + THEATRE

FINE ART
Drawing on his unorthodox background in Film + TV Graphic Art Direction, Adam seeks to challenge the conventions of Fine Art. Inspired by the backlit tech screens that inform every day life, he custom cuts acrylic sheet goods instead of canvas. Each piece is shaped by figurative imagery, rendered with the rebellious edge of Street Art in mixed media. This leaves the viewer with raw and visceral portal into the human experience.
Adam’s work explores themes of identity and concurrent connection + detachment in human relationships. He seeks to capture the vulnerable moments between opposing states of existence: being and striving, having and losing, fighting and surrendering.
