Exhibition: January 16 – April 25, 2016
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 23, 2016, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Gregory Adamson is a renowned Southern California artist who has gained domestic and international acclaim for his mesmerizing, fast-paced art performances, where he paints to music with bare hands or brushes, creating huge masterpieces in just minutes. His subject matter includes historical leaders, sports legends, music icons, and other pop culture celebrities.
He has performed coast-to-coast and abroad at concerts with major recording artists and at regional and national events. Beyond his performances, Greg creates privately commissioned studio paintings, including portraits and other subjects, and devotes time whenever possible to his “personal” works, which are more abstract in nature.
For this exhibition, Adamson will immerse audiences in a sea of interactive creativity as he shares his journey from youthful art endeavors to a career in the financial industry and a “retirement” exploring and sharing his passion for art.
