Went to the opening night of the new show at One Small Step in EC1 tonight. Adam was there (in the window) creating many of his signature pieces to the time of a large inspiration clock which hung on the wall before him. The clock (priced at an entirely reasonable 2000) contained four smaller timepieces each of which provided the artist with inspiration.
For example, one of the clocks - depending on the position of the hands - indicated whether or not Adam should paint a man, a monster (nice or nasty), a woman, or an object; another clock dictated whether or not the thing in question should be happy, sad, angry, etc., and another what colour it should be. So we had a happy orange car, or a sad blue man
The fourth clock dictated the medium to be used (hands, aerosol, ink, paint ).
Utterly inspired, and I m not taking the piss when I say I thought the price for the clock was reasonable ; unfortunately I just don t have that kind of money
On the walls of the gallery hung smaller pieces, untitled pen drawings ( 150) and his dark heart series ( 500-800) which I really liked (especially the bus, if any one influential is reading..).
Thanks for the free beers.
