About the artist

Adam Pendleton , a central figure in contemporary American art, is known for paintings that have redefined the boundaries of abstraction. Upending linear compositional logic, Pendleton’s paintings are created through a distilled layering of gesture, fragment, and form. Each painting comes to life through its expressionistic flourishes, stark contrasts, and subtle use of material, tone, and finish, combined with a precision reminiscent of minimal and conceptual art. In 2008, he began to define his working method as Black Dada, a critical framework for exploring the relationship between Blackness, abstraction, and the historical avant-gardes—for which he is now widely recognized.
